Miss Blanche C. Matthias,
2350 Lincon Park West,
Chicago, Illinois.

My dear Miss Matthias:-

May I presume to ask for the
privilege to call on you some after-
or evening of next week, when you are
at leisure, on a matter that might
prove of considerable interest and
importance to you ?

I expect to be in Chicago next
Wednesday and shall stay for several
days. I hope that you will find it
possible to grant me this interview.

Dear Mrs. Matthias:-

The printing press is installed, the paper bought and I am all set for the next issue. I am turning all material over to the typesetter, Monday. I am counting on your article. I can use two pictures with it.

Thank you for your subscription. Since our annual subscription rate is only $2.50, I shall credit you with the right to fourteen copies of the magazine.

I expect things to flow along much more smoothly now, since I am no longer so dependent financially. The next issue of Prairie will be another very interesting and unique contribution. -Some very good material and several wholly unknown names.

I hope that this will give you sufficient time to get your article to me.

Dear Mrs. Matthias:-

I am sorry that time will not
permit you to join me. I am more convinced
than ever of the need of Prairie and shall
continue with it. I shall have to do it
alone. You were the only person in
Chicago I wished as a co-editor.

In a few days I expect to have my
private printing press installed. It will
enable me to print the magazine regularly
and also more artistically then a commercial
printer ever could.

Your interest in the magazine is
gratifying and I am looking forward to

your article on Walt Kuhn. I can use at least two photographs.
I shall be busy in Milwaukee all of next week, but expect to
be in Chicago the week following when I hope to see you again.
