I am a subscriber to Recreation, as well 

 as to nearly a dozen other sportsmen's peri- 

 odicals. While a few refuse to indorse the 

 method of roasting that you employ, it has 

 my support at least. I notice also that 

 some writers of articles to the daily press 

 use terms that lead me to believe Recrea- 

 tion has left its ear-marks on either them or 

 their friends. You are doing great things 

 for the cause of game protection. I wish 

 you a long life in the work you have un- 

 dertaken, but I trust, at the same time, it 

 may not take you a lifetime to accomplish 

 it. Redfood, Redlands, Cal.
