My dear Mr. Watt : I am glad to get yours of the i7th, 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,

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,

 MR. C. C. MARBLE, 



277 Dearborn Street, Chicago, 111. 



Dear Sir : Your kindness in sending me Nos. i 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 mat 

 ter 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,
