A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. He recounts a trip to Anclote Key on the Ellen with his friend Joe Patten, who has recently returned from vacation. He also describes Tarpon Springs' spongers and their way of life. He closes by mentioning green-goods-men, or people who perform the green goods scam. This fraud scheme involves luring people to purchase counterfeit money but replacing any currency with sawdust or paper that holds no worth.
