I presume even the editor of a magazine 

 so successful as yours will be gratified by 

 an expression of appreciation, especially 

 when it comes from a man of national 

 prominence. 



A few weeks ago I called on the Hon. 

 Joseph F. Johnston, Governor of Alabama, 

 at his residence in Birmingham, and saw a 

 copy of Recreation on his library table. 

 To my inquiry as to whether he was a reg- 

 ular reader of it he replied: 



"Yes; and I greatly enjoy it. It carries 

 with it the real odor of the woods." 



This was said with an earnestness which 

 left no doubt as to its sincerity. I have oc- 

 casion, in the course of business, to travel 

 over the country a great deal, but wherever 

 I go I can always buy your magazine at 

 the news stands. This is true even of the 

 smaller towns and cities, where one would 

 hardly expect to find anything with a less 

 circulation than Munsey's or the great peri- 

 odicals. As a friend of yours I take a pride 

 in the success you are making and congratu- 

 late you on it. 



Sincerely yours, 

 Wm. Edward Coffin, New York City 



A bird that can sing and won't sing, is a

If you would live next to nature, read 

 Recreation.
