I am here, Cornelius Vanderbilt.
Oh, Arthur! What can I say? My life over here has been a sheer
horror. I did possess noble impulses, but I very early on learned
to suppress them. I lived the life of a criminal predator, squashing
these noble impulses in the name of - what?
Oh, it is all so pitiful! For when I came over here, all was darkness
and mockery. Why didn't I listen to those more noble feelings? But
they never had a chance in the terrible game of acquisition and
conquest.
I know you read that I was cutthroat from an early age, but it
is also true that I could discern these noble aspirations inside
me, which I destroyed by my rapacious desires. And those now in
our country with similar tendencies will suffer exactly the same
fate I have endured. Woe unto them!
The world is moving toward a spiritual revolution, one which people
like me subverted.
I need your help. You say I must pray for God's Love. Only how?
You must help me. I am lost.
