_My dear Dr. Woodson:_

Enclosed find my check for $1 for one year's subscription to THE JOURNAL OF
NEGRO HISTORY. I am enjoying the reading of the first issue and shall look
forward with interest to the coming of each successive one.

With best wishes for the work, I am,

Very truly yours,

_My dear Dr. Woodson:_

I have read THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY with pleasure, interest, profit
and withal, amazement. The typographical appearance, the size and the
strong scholastic historical articles reveal research capacity of the
writers, breadth of learning and fine literary taste. Having been the
editor of the _Voice of the Negro_ and knowing somewhat of the literary
capacity of the best writers of the race, I cannot but express satisfaction
and amazement with this new venture under your leadership. I sincerely hope
and even devoutly pray that this latest born from the brain of the Negro
race may grow in influence and power, as it deserves, to vindicate for the
thinkers of the race their claim to citizenship in the republic of thought
and letters. Count upon me as a fellow worker.

Yours sincerely,

J. W. E. Bowen
_Vice-President of Gammon Theological Seminary_

_My Dear Dr. Woodson:_

I have examined with interest the first number of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO
HISTORY, which you so kindly sent me. It is a credit to its editors and
contributors and I hope it may continue to preserve high standards and to
prosper.

Sincerely yours,

Frederick J. Turner,
_Professor of American History in Harvard University_

_My dear Dr. Woodson:_

I am obliged to you for your copy of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY and am
interested in knowing that you have undertaken this interesting work. I
shall endeavor to see that it is ordered for our library. I should suppose
that if you could manage to float it and keep it going for a few years, at
least, that it would have considerable historical value.

Very sincerely yours,

A. C. Mclaughlin,
_Head of the Department of American History,
The University of Chicago_

_My dear Dr. Woodson:_
