The Almighty Dollar
Harry made two separate observations of the American obsession with money:
Letter 4 "...but the residents only have three watchwords.
Grow quick, get rich quick and die quick.
The greatest of the three is the middle one and they live up to it hard.
Some of the banks keep open all day and all night and advertise the fact with electric signs.
Only one thing talks here and that is the almighty dollar."
Letter 6 "...but everything in the place is artificial they talk and think of nothing
else but the almighty $ and the shortest way to pack
up a stack of them."
