I am greatly indebted for a copy of THE LITTLE REVIEW. I take this
opportunity of stating that the publication is one of the cleverest and
best things I have seen. It deserves success, for it contains stuff
which will compare very favorably with the best that is being written.
G. FRANK LYDSTON.

Will you allow me to congratulate you on your magnificent effort in
bringing out THE LITTLE REVIEW?
I have found it very refreshing after having suffered for so long by
reading the so-called book review magazines that have no right to more
than passing notice.
You have accomplished wonders, and if your efforts of the future come up
to those put into the first number of THE LITTLE REVIEW, your success is
assured.
The best wish I can offer is that its path may be covered with roses and
bordered with the trees of prosperity.
Again congratulating you, I am, with every good wish, very truly yours,
LEE A. STONE, M. D.

THE LITTLE REVIEW came this morning! And I have read it all! And I love
it! Much more than I expected, to be perfectly honest! I feared
something too radical--too modern--if that is possible. If it had been
like _The Masses_--well, I can never express my contempt for that
sheet. But you're perfectly sane, intelligent, readable, and
enthusiastic--gloriously so!
Your description of Kreisler is worth much to me. It is precisely what I
have always felt about him. Paderewski, too. But I think the Mason and
Hamlin reference a little too commercial. I realize you want THE LITTLE
REVIEW to be straightforward, honest, intimate, etc., but I fear that
kind of thing will be taken as advertisement and not as a personal
belief and enthusiasm.
If I should never know anything more of Mr. George Soule than his sonnet
and New York letter I should have to like him. The man who could feel
and write that last paragraph is a splendid type.
But the whole thing is beautiful, and worth while, whether you agree
with it all or not. A thousand congratulations!
