"I always read it, for I am heartily in sympathy with so many of the things for which it works."-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.FORMERLY "THE LAND OF SUNSHINE"THE NATION BACK OF US, THE WORLD IN FRONTOUT WE STA MAGAZINE OFTHE OLD PACIFIC AND THE NEWEDITED BY CHAS. F. LUMMIS"A magazine wholly unlike any other published anywhere. . . . The best there is in periodical literature on the Pacific Coast. . . . Ability and individuality powerful enough and original enough to give distinction to any periodical.... A voice listened to with respect and interest in all parts of the country."-The Dial."Its lively independence and its genuine learning. ... A steady evenness of worth and interest." -The Nation.Editor's OfficeLos Angeles, Cal April 2nd 1903.Dear Mr. Muir:Now see here, don't you think of trusting yourself among the timorous foreigners, unless you come by this way and stop a day or two to get fortified-and also to fortify us. Just think how we should feel if they should eat you, abroad, and we had not seen you for a long time!Turbese and everyone of us want to welcome you here. The longer the better; but even a little is better than nothing, and as this is on the transcontinental line of travel, I can't see that you have any decent or moral excuse for passing us by on the other side.The other matter seems to be mutual.
