Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 10, 1913. 
Publishers Forest and Stream, New York City: 
Gentlemen—I always read Forest and Stream, and 
have done so since the early ’80s. On my travels it is 
sent to me by a news agent who sends me other read¬ 
ing matter and keeps track of my address. Now I read 
it at the Union Club, as it is always kept on our reading 
table. After thirty years or more 1 cannot lose a copy, 
but how I do miss those old-time literary saints who 
have crossed the Divide. Will order it by mail when 
I get settled somewhere “Unter Palmen in dem Siiden, 
unter Linden an dem Rhein.” 
Very sincerely, 
Eugene Perdue.
