DEDICATION
As my work has been a labor of love, I therefore affection- ately dedicate this book to the Daughters of the American Revolution of Georgia.
September 4, 1913.
Mrs. Sheppard W. Foster,
Atlanta, Georgia.
My Dear Mrs. Foster:—To say that I am delighted with your Revolutionary Reader is to state the sheer truth in very mild terms. It is a marvel to me how you could gather together so many charmingly written articles, each of them illustrative of some dramatic phase of the great struggle for independence. There is much in this book of local interest to each section. There is literally nothing which does not carry with it an appeal of the most profound interest to the general reader, whether in Georgia or New England. You have ignored no part of the map. I congratulate you upon your wonderful success in the preparation of your Revolutionary Reader. It is marvelously rich in contents and broadly American in spirit.
Sincerely your friend,
(Signed) Lucian Lamar Knight.

Mrs. S. W. Foster,
711 Peachtree Street.
I like very much your plan of a Revolutionary reader. I hope it will be adopted by the school boards of the various states as a supplementary reader so that it may have a wide circulation.
Yours sincerely,
Joseph T. Derry.
