Chicago, Hi. 

 Dear Sir : I have a copy of your magazine entitled " Birds," and beg to 

 say that I consider it one of the finest things on the subject that I have ever 

 seen, and shall be pleased to recommend it to county and city superintendents 

 of the state. Very respectfully,

 Dear Sir : I am very much obliged for the copy of " Birds " that has just 

 come to hand. It should be in the hands of every primary and grammar

Chicago, 111. 

 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, 



W. R. Jackson, 

 State Superintendent Public Instruction. 



North Lima, Ohio, February 1, 1897. 

 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.

 Gentlemen : I acknowledge with pleasure the receipt of your publication, 

 " Birds," with accompanying circulars. I consider it the best on the subject 

 in existence. I have submitted the circulars and publication to my teachers, 

 who have nothing to say but praise in behalf of the monthly.
