My dear Mr. Watt: I am glad to get yours of the 17th, and to find at the
top of the letter head the names of two good friends, interested in so
novel and valuable an undertaking. The idea is a good one, and the
execution seems to me extraordinary for the price. With best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER,

My dear Sir: The sample of "Birds" received. I am exceedingly pleased
with the beautiful little magazine. The cuts are truly marvelous. Why
did not somebody think of the scheme before? It _must_ prove a grand
success. Every teacher that knows enough to teach will be an
enthusiastic admirer of "Birds." I shall do all I can for it. Please
send me a few more copies. Find some stamps enclosed.
Cordially yours,

277 Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill.
Dear Sir: Your kindness in sending me Nos. 1 and 2 of "Birds," and also
the premium picture "Golden Pheasant," is most fully appreciated. Your
magazine, of course, is most attractive by reason of the beautiful
pictures it contains, which are finer than any heretofore issued,
including "Baird's" and "Audubon's." I also find that the descriptions
and general reading matter are very interesting. It will equally please
both adult and youth, I am sure, so I wish your enterprise the success
it so abundantly deserves.
Very truly yours,
HIRAM BALDWIN,
General Manager Northern Life Association.
