I hate to crowd things on people, or should have put you on the list before writing at all; now that you are kind enough to express interest, you are in for it.We have a field I am sure of it. And my hope is to make what shall be worthy as well as successful & worthy whether[3]successful or not. But I believe we shall succeed.

That, I take it, is encouragement that a self-respecting concern can thrive even on the "frontier."I shall be more grateful than I can say if you will write something for us; & sincerely hope that as the magazine speaks for itself you will find the kind impulse not weakened. It isn't all I would like, but it is "honest
