Part 156 (2/2)
”How much liberty do you wish us to take in the matter of quotations from The Forerunner '-----' Both January copies have just come to hand.
Your stories are more interesting than any I've read for a long time. I hope you will continue these 'Housekeeping Problems.'
”I find The Forerunner on our club table far too exciting to pick up and skim. Therefore I enclose a year's subscription.”
”I am very much interested in your opinions and convictions as set forth in the books I have seen and am hoping to find a guide and friend in the above publication, which has recently come to my notice.”
”The address was incorrect and so am sending the correct one at the top of this page, as I do not want to chance losing any of the numbers, I enjoy it so thoroughly.”
”Your January number was fine. Mrs. D---- thinks it is worth the price for the year.”
”The January Forerunner is especially rich. 'Here is the earth,' is worth the subscription price, to put it mildly.”
”Mother's copy of The Forerunner has just come, and I want to subscribe right off, before I read it! I know it will be the very cleverest and most stimulating thing in print. I want to lend it to the other girls at college.”
”I _must_ take a few moments to say how much I enjoy The Forerunner.”
”To speak commercially, I never saw so much value given for the price, in my life! And then the stuff itself! Well;
”'Her Housekeeper,' gave me such joy that I read it four times, to be sure I had extracted _all_ the juice. A _real_ love story! I suppose perhaps the only one that was ever written! I, at least, do not recall, in all the tons of fiction I have swum through a story of real LOVE before. * * * Apropos of this not seeing--not grasping the idea--comes 'The Barrel.' Oh fine! More power to your right arm.”
”My sister and I have greatly enjoyed your publication, its articles, its poetry, its question box, its _advertis.e.m.e.nts._ Better send the two subscriptions from January number--we have the magazine at home, but I want my patients to regale themselves with it when they are waiting for me at the office.”
”The magazine is fine! A real Forerunner. I was in Connecticut when it came, but rushed head first into it on the evening of my return. I hope it will grow and _grow_ and GROW! until you have to call a halt on subscribers. I enclose a dollar to have a copy sent regularly to Miss ----- -----. It will do them _good.”_
”We are having _great_ amus.e.m.e.nt over your magazine. For the enclosed please send it to Miss ----- ----- and to me.”
”I cannot refrain from expressing to you the great pleasure and satisfaction I got from the one copy of The Forerunner that I have seen.
