2433616 February 1884; 24 Avenue Victor Hugo Paris on letterhead of the New Club Boulevard Malesherbes. According to Russell’s entry in the Oxford DNB while reporting on the Civil War he was described by one American newspaper as ‘the most famous newspaper correspondent the world has ever seen'. The inscription on his memorial in St Paul’s Cathedral calls him ‘'the first and greatest of War Correspondents'. He coined the phrase ‘thin red line’ was instrumental in the sending of Florence Nightingale to the Crimea and is said to have written the report that inspired Tennyson to write ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’. The recipient was the proprietor of the Hotel and Restaurant Henry IV Saint-Germain-en-Laye which according to an advertisement in Galignani’s ‘New Paris Guide for 1879’ was ‘The only Hotel on the Terrace. / Highly recommended and old-established / Louis XIV. was born in this House on the 5th Sept. 1638.’. The present item is 2pp 12mo. In fair condition aged and worn with thin strip of glue from mount along the gutter. Folded twice. Signed ‘W H Russell’. He enquires after ‘un petit apartment libre pour le lundi ou mardi en cas de besoin’ at a price ‘convenable à ma fortune’. He describes the specifications he requires before noting that M. de Blonetz ma dit ce que j’ai entendu avec plaisir que vous avez garde des souvenirs aimables de moi depuis cet temp terrible 70. 71’. In a postscript he expresses anxiety that ‘il y aura une grande foule à St Germain le lundi pour les courses’. It may be that Russell attended the racing with the future King Edward VII: he was as the Oxford DNB states ‘a member of the Prince of Wales's circle though his relationship with the prince fluctuated and he deplored the depravity and obscenity of some of his set’. 16 February 1884; 24 Avenue Victor Hugo [Paris], on letterhead of the New Club, Boulevard Malesherbes, unknown

From the publisher: "The world-famous former con artist and bestselling author of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN now reveals the mind-boggling tricks of the scam trade - with advice that has made him one of America's most sought-after fraud prevention experts. 'I had as much knowledge as any man alive concerning the mechanics of forgery check swindling counterfeiting and other similar crimes. Ever since I'd been released from prison I'd often felt that if I directed this knowledge into the right channels I could help people a great deal. Every time I went to the store and wrote a check I would see two or three mistakes made on the part of the clerk or cashier mistakes that a flimflam artist would take advantage of In a certain sense I'm still a con artist. I'm just putting down a positive con these days as opposed to the negative con I used in the past. I've merely redirected the talents I've always possessed. I've applied the same relentless attention to working on stopping fraud that I once applied to perpetuating fraud.' In CATCH ME IF YOU CAN Frank W. Abagnale recounted his youthful career as a master imposter and forger. In THE ART OF THE STEAL Abagnale tells the remarkable story of how he parlayed his knowledge of cons and scams into a successful career as a consultant on preventing financial foul play - while showing you how to identify and outsmart perpetrators of fraud. Technology may have made it easier to track down criminals but cyberspace has spawned a skyrocketing number of ways to commit crime much of it untraceable. Businesses are estimated to lose an unprecedented $400 billion a year from fraud of one sort or another. If we were able to do away with fraud for just two years we'd erase the national debt and pay Social Security for the next one hundred years. However Abagnale has discovered that punishment for committing fraud much less recovery of stolen funds seldom happens: Once you're a victim you won't get your money back. Prevention is the best form of protection. Drawn from his twenty-five years of experience as an ingenious con artist whose check scams alone mounted to more than $2 million in stolen funds Abagnale's THE ART OF THE STEAL provides eye-opening stories of true scams with tips on how they can be prevented. Abagnale takes you deep inside the world and mind of the con artist showing you just how he pulled off his scams and what you can do to avoid becoming the next victim. You'll hear the stories of notorious swindles like the mustard squirter trick and the 'rock in the box' ploy and meet the criminals like the famous Vickers Gang who perpetrated them. You'll find out why crooks wash checks and iron credit cards and why a thief brings glue with him to the ATM. And finally you'll learn how to recognize a bogus check or a counterfeit bill and why you shouldn't write your grocery list on a deposit slip. A revealing look inside the predatory criminal mind from a former master of the con THE ART OF THE STEAL is the ultimate defense against even the craftiest crook." Abagnale is the subject of the film Catch Me If You Can "a 2002 American crime comedy-drama directed and produced by Steven Spielberg and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks with Christopher Walken Martin Sheen Nathalie Baye Amy Adams and James Brolin in supporting roles. The screenplay by Jeff Nathanson is based on the eponymous and semi-autobiographical book by Frank Abagnale Jr. who claims that prior to his 19th birthday he successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as a Pan American World Airways pilot a Georgia doctor and a Louisiana parish prosecutor." -- Wikipedia.
