 7x9 inches, of the birds found in Lincoln Park. Archibald Freer. 



Chicago, Oct. 26, 1903. 



Your plates are the best that I have ever seen, and I do not wonder that John Burroughs 

 wants to line his nest with them. E1.SIE L. Fenimore. 



Fremont, Ohio, July 7, 1903. 



Birds and Nature is the only magazine I subscribe for. I'm like Editor Higley; I take 

 all the bird pictures out and place them in A. O. U. order, indexing and annotating them, and 

 preserving also the other pictures in systematic order. You beat the world on art. Look again 

 at those ears of corn — the central ear especially; for color perspective it's a " stunner."
