_My dear Dr. Woodson:_

No words of mine can express the delight with which I am reading the first
copy of your JOURNAL, nor the supreme satisfaction I feel that such an
organization as the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History is
in actual and active existence. Inclosed find check for sixteen dollars
for one year's subscription to the JOURNAL and a life membership in the
Association.

Very truly yours,

_Dear Sir:_

I have read with considerable interest Number 1 of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO
HISTORY. The enterprise seems to me to be an excellent one and deserving of
enthusiastic support.

_Dear Sir:_

Last week I chanced to see a copy of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY, January
number, and while I didn't have opportunity to read it fully, I was very
favorably impressed with it; so much so that I am sending my check for one
year's subscription, including the January number. Allow me to hope much
success may attend this undertaking and that subsequent numbers be as
elegant and attractive as this one.

Yours very truly,

T. Spotuas Burwell

_Dear Sir:_

I want to congratulate you on the appearance and contents of this first
number. It has received most favorable comment from every one to whom I
have shown it. I certainly wish it every success.

_Dear Mr. Woodson:_

I have examined with more than usual interest the copy of THE JOURNAL OF
NEGRO HISTORY which has just reached me through your courtesy. It certainly
looks hopeful and I trust that the venture may prove its usefulness very
quickly. I am sending you my check for a subscription as I shall be glad to
receive subsequent issues.

Wishing you great success in your editorial position and hoping that the
idea of the organization may be attained, I remain,

Yours very truly,

_My dear Dr. Woodson:_

I looked over the first number of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY with much
interest. It bears every evidence of a scientific disposition on the part
of the editor and his board.
