_From Professor J. W. Redway, of Philadelphia, a well-known
geographer and scientist:_

"_Philadelphia_, September 9, 1887.

"Captain Willard Glazier:

"_My Dear Sir:_-- ... You will have the satisfaction of knowing
that by your exertions and enterprise an error of more than fifty
years standing has been made apparent. The world owes you a debt
for determining an important question in geography.

"Sincerely yours,

"J. W. Redway."

_From the Messrs. Harper & Brothers, New York:_

"Recent exploration and survey establish the fact that Lake Glazier
has the best claim to the distinction of standing at the head of
the Father of Waters. School Geographies generally are being
corrected to show it."

_From Rand, McNally & Company, Map-makers and Publishers, Chicago:_

"As to the source of the Mississippi, we gave it considerable
attention in preparing our new map of Minnesota, and finally fixed
it as LAKE GLAZIER. This, we consider, has the best claim."

_From George F. Cram, Map and Atlas Publisher, Chicago:_

"I mail you to-day a copy of the corrected map of Minnesota,
showing LAKE GLAZIER as the source of the Mississippi."

"We regard LAKE GLAZIER as the true source of the Mississippi, and
are so showing it on all maps, etc., issued by us."

_From Messrs. Cowperthwait & Company, Philadelphia._

"We have added LAKE GLAZIER to our School Maps as the source of the
Mississippi."
