am sure you
can achieve genuine results in it.

Sincerely yours,

Charles H. Haskins,
_Dean of the Harvard Graduate School_

_My dear Dr. Woodson:_

Please accept my thanks for an initial copy of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY
which you were kind enough to send me. I am delighted with it. Its
mechanical makeup leaves nothing to be desired and its contents possess a
permanent value. It should challenge the support of all forward-looking men
of the race and command the respect of the thinking men of the entire
country regardless of creed or color. I wish you the fullest measure of
success in this unique undertaking.

Your friend,

J.w. Scott,
_Principal of the Douglass High School,
Huntington, W. Va._

_My dear Mr. Woodson:_

I wish to acknowledge the receipt of the first number of THE JOURNAL OF
NEGRO HISTORY. I have read it with much interest and congratulate you, as
the editor, upon your achievement. The more I think of the matter, the more
do I believe there is a place for such a publication. The history of the
Negro in Africa, in the West Indies, in Spanish America, and in the United
States offers a large field in which little appears to have been done.

Very truly yours,

A. H. Buffinton,
_Instructor in History, Williams College_

_My dear Sir:_

A copy of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY was received yesterday and I wish to
thank you and the gentlemen associated with you for this magnificent
effort. There is "class" to this magazine, more "class" than I have seen in
any of our race journals. May I say, notwithstanding the fact that I edited
a race magazine once myself, the whole magazine is clean and high and
deserves a place in our homes and college libraries alongside with the
great periodicals of the land.

Yours very truly,

J. Max Barber

_Dear Sirs:_

Please find enclosed my subscription of one dollar in cash to THE JOURNAL
OF NEGRO HISTORY, and permit me to congratulate you on your first
publication.

Very truly yours,

Oswald Garrison Villard

_Dear Sir:_

The first number of your magazine reached me a few days ago. It is a fine
publication, doing credit to its editor and to the association. I think it
has a fine field.

Sincerely yours,

T. G. Steward,
_Captain, U. S. Army, Retired_

_Dear Dr. Woodson:_

I have the first number of THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY. Permit me to
congratulate you and to earnestly hope that it may live long and prosper.
