Part 156 (1/2)
”I have been intending to write to congratulate you upon the magazine.
It goes without saying that it is clever and altogether delightful.
Long may it continue.”
”Permit me to congratulate you on getting up a paper with so much intellectual food contained within its covers. Both my wife and self enjoyed reading No. 3 '-----' particularly 'Androcentric Culture.' More power to you!”
”Thank you so much for the December and January numbers of The Forerunner;--I think they are great, _great,_ GREAT!--Every bit of them makes one grind one's teeth with satisfaction.”
”We three are familiar with your 'Women and Economics' and regularly announce to each other by post card;--See such a magazine--an article by _'our C. P. G.'_ So imagine our satisfaction to learn that 'our Mrs.
Gilman' has now a magazine where _'her policies'_ are so ably presented!
'-----' I shall never lose an opportunity to advertise The Forerunner by word of mouth.”
”If possible include all numbers of your paper in the following yearly subscriptions. We are anxious to have the file from the first.
”The paper is great. May it be able to outlive the necessity for its mission.”
(Encloses three subscriptions).
”In our family circle we have read aloud The Forerunner for November and December with much interest and enjoyment. We were particularly pleased with your article on Christmas and the Santa Claus myth.”
”Hurrah for The Forerunner--He is a bully little youngster--Or is he a _she?_--s.e.x on cover seems indeterminate. Is he _just human?_ I enclose $5.00 for five subscriptions to following list--(if any are already subscribers they can be omitted). J---- tells me that he has already negotiated for a copy for _us._ All good wishes from us both.”
”I have read the January issue. Of course I heartily endorse it all, since I was long ago converted by your books.”
”Congratulations on The Forerunner, two copies just received,--the magazine is better than I expected and I knew it would be good. Our dinner table was much enlivened that night, with comments and expressions of approval from all, even to G----, my very conservative son.”
”I devoured The Forerunner from 'Volume 1' to 'The pain from a raw wound,' and am not yet satisfied. Please take my check for 'more.'”
