HARPER & BROTHERS, Publishers

49 East 33d Street, New York

October 3, 1938

Dear Subscriber:-

I am always glad of an opportunity to write to
our subscribers, because while we are naturally
pleased at winning new readers, we are more concerned
with keeping our old ones.

Just now I am writing to remind you as gently as

possible that your valued subscription to Harpers
Magazine will expire with the November issue - unless,
of course, your order has crossed this letter in the
mails.

This is not to be regarded as a high pressure
sales letter. Since most of our readers renew their
subscriptions as a matter of course, such a thing
would not only be annoying but ridiculous. Besides, I
could not think of any argument so persuasive as the
magazine itself.

I am simply reminding you, in a friendly way, of
the passage of time to save you the annoyance of miss-
ing an issue. And I want to mention a few of the forth-
coming articles I believe you will particularly enjoy:

OUR LAWYERS, by Ferdinand Lundberg

ENGLAND MOVES TOWARD FASCISM, by Eliot Janeway

CHARLES A. BEARD, a portrait, by Hubert Herring

FORTY-THIRD DIVISION: beginning a two-part story
by Ralph Bates
