We, the citizens of the Junior Republic, wish to thank you for those magazines, The Great Round World, that you were so kind to send to us.
We have entered them in our library and they are being read thoroughly by the citizens. The article on our Republic in the March 4th number of The Great Round World is exactly as that which has taken place; and, considering that this article was so truthful, we will use the Cuban and other news in your magazine as our authority when we converse on those subjects of which your magazine treats.
| Yours sincerely, |

| C.W. Brewster, Secretary of State. |

Dear Editor:
I enjoy your fascinating little magazine so much that I thought I would write and tell you so. It has pleased me very much to find that you encourage kindness to animals, for it is pathetic to think how they patiently work for us with only bad treatment as a reward. Do please write more about them, and their undeserved sufferings. I think that your older subscribers would like to read "Fabiola," by Cardinal Wiseman. It is a story of ancient Rome, and the Christians of the catacombs; it is quite an old book, but is as interesting as any that I have read.
As you are so kind about answering questions, perhaps you could tell me of some magazine or shop (in New York) where I could find authentic portraits of historic people, like Catherine de Medici, Louis XI., Louis XII., etc. I do not want them to be too expensive, and I do not want them to be fancy pictures.
