NEW JERSEY AUDUBON SOCIETY 



regret the loss of the Audubon Society to the State, and I send 

 the enclosed check for five dollars as a vote to maintain tlie 

 New Jersey Audubon Society. Sincerely hoping tliat its funds 

 and its influence may greatly increase."' 



"Am enclosin-- herewith check for $5.00 with the hope that 

 you will receive the required help, as I should regret very 

 much to see the New Jersey Audubon Society obliged to go 

 out of existence. Am sorry I am not in a position to help to 

 a greater extent, as 1 feel that the work of bird preservation 

 is of great value to us all." 



''I am supposed to copy a letter my husband wrote you in 

 answer to your earnest appeal in behalf of our feathered 

 friends. However, as I can not find the original, and realizing 

 the necessity for absolute haste in this matter, I shall beg you 

 in a few brief words of my own to please keep up the hght. 

 Let us not despair, for as }our letter has stirred us, so must 

 it also strongly appeal to every other bird lover and member, 

 and it is my earnest hope that through this and your special 

 effort we will be the stronger in numbers and action after the 

 danger has been averted. I shall promise to get at least twenty 

 new members within a short time, also to stir up some old 

 ones, and herewith deny myself some necessity in order to 

 send you enclosed check for $10.00." 



"Indeed I \ote strongly to have the Society continue its 

 good work, and while I can not conveniently enclose my check 

 for $25.00 to-day, I will agree to send it to you before Sep- 

 tember 15th if that will meet your approval. My health will 

 not permit me to enter into an active campaign to raise funds, 

 but I feel strongly that the Society must go on." 



"1 have recei\'ed your communication of the 22d inst., and 

 feel that it will be almost a crime if the New Jersey Audubon 

 Society should be allowed to die." 



"I hope you will receive such a response to your communica- 

 tion as will assure the Society's continued existence. It is idle 

 to expect any favorable action from the Legislature in the 

 matter of bird protection unless the voters are convinced of 

 its necessity; the New Jersey Audubon Society is the medium 

 through which they may express their views, and it would be 

 shameful to allow it to die."
