Dear Sir: The first number of your magazine, "Birds," is upon my
desk. I am highly pleased with it. It will prove a very serviceable
publication--one that strikes out along the right lines. For the purpose
intended, it has, in my opinion, no equal. It is clear, concise, and
admirably illustrated.
Very respectfully,

MR. W. E. WATT,
Dear Sir: Sample copy of "Birds" received. All of the family delighted
with it. We wish it unbounded success. It will be an excellent
supplement to "In Birdland" in the Ohio Teachers' Reading Circle, and I
venture Ohio will be to the front with a good subscription list. I
enclose list of teachers.
Very truly,
C. M. L. ALTDOERFFER,
Township Superintendent.
