In the September 1925 issue of Photoplay magazine, silent film director Marshall Neilan conducted a tongue-in-cheek interview with himself. Almost 90 years later, nothing much has changed. Here's a sample:
Q. What are the essential qualities of a director?
A. The ability to convince producers that you are a better director than your pictures show you to be.
Q. How do you distinguish a director from mere mortals?
A. By the number of people to whom he does not speak. There was once a director who became so great that he forgot his wife’s first name.

However suspecting a plain white envelop to contain antrax seems more ridiculous...
Ok... Considering Toodles did not send the envelope but actually carried it to the residence of Mr. Flatherty... The cash the metro ticket and the wallet could be a fair deal (depending on the amount of cash in the wallet and the price of the wallet... )
