Question

ransom fifteen hundred dollars instead of two thousand. We collaborate a letter that ran this way:
Ebenezer Dorset, Esq.:
We have your boy concealed in a place far from Summit. It is useless for
you or the
most skillful detectives to attempt to find him. Absolutely, the only terms on which
you can
have him restored to you are these: We demand fifteen hundred dollars in large bills for his
return: the money to be left at midnight tonight at the same spot and in the same box as your
reply-as, hereinafter described. If you agree to these terms, send your answer in writing by
a solitary messenger tonight at half-past eight o'clock. After crossing Owl Creek, on the
road to Poplar Cove, there are three large trees about a hundred yards apart, close to the
fence of the wheat field on the right-hand side. At the bottom of the fence-post, opposite the
third tree, will be found a small pasteboard box.
The messenger will place the answer in this box and return immediately to Summit.
If you attempt any treachery or fail to comply with our demand as stated, you will
never see your boy again.
If you pay the money as demanded, he will be returned to you safe and well within
three hours. These terms are final and if you do not accede to them, no further
communication will be attempted.
