My Dear Sir:- Your favor of the 8th just to hand, stating that you arc having prepared the copies of 4 x 5 photographs to send me to be used as illustrations of write-ups of the Appalachian National Park. 1 am very glad to hear this, and 1 in turn have some good news to impart: With its January issue the monthly magazine "Recreation" (No Y. City), the official organ of the League of American Sportsmen, established a Forestry Department, to be edited by Dr. B. R. Fernow, Director of the New York School of Forestry, Cornell University, assisted by Dr. John N. Gifford, of the same institution. 1 wrote and sent Dr. Fernow quite a lengthy article (about 2,000 to 2,500 words) on the proposed Appalachian Park, and have a letter from him accepting the article and saying that they wish to use it in one of the next numbers of "Recreation", with an editorial nate, This will give the Park movement very wide publicity and among a very desirable class, as "Recreation" circulates widely a- mong the better and more intelligent class of sportsmen who are committed to the principle of rational sport and the careful preserva- tion of our game and forests. The League of American Sportsmen has for one of its chief objects the extermination of the "game-hog."
