Hy dear Kiss Ryan,
Your letter of Jay 5th afiflressefi to Frunenise Rup'tfi of

the ¢.C_g_g. was duly receives, I wish very mush to help the Journal;

and T shall be giad to receive I00 of the printea folders for getting up

4

clubs. I can use them, but I do not care to have at one u . ICC sample
coyies, as they may grow old hefore I use them, and I feel the imbortence
of recent news in samples of the Journal.

In lexington, the qual R.Asso. is oonsifiering the best way of pre»
Senting the Journal to the news stands. We do not know of any One who
mould undertake selling them out of interest to the cause. >It must be a
business unfierteking. I find I need series frequently for samples; and it
has ocourred to me that our headquarters might take five or ten annual
scriptiens, or short subscriptions, get some one to seli What O°u1d_P9

and retnrn the others to the office, for semfiles wnen they are neefied.
Mrs.3reckinridge is out of the city for a few weeks; and I gromised to‘

write to you for terms to news stands, etc. Have you any suggestions to

make more,than whet ere contained in the little‘folder? If so, please

write fully to me at once. ' - ‘ *

\

In writing letters to my correspondents, me; say that e sample copy

I:

of the,Journs1 will be sent from your‘office hv writing a.postal care sokn
