The following two letters arc samples of those now reaching the “Graphic” by almost every mail. The first is from the editor of the South Wades “Daily News,” Cardiff “Times.” and other important journals. T. W. Leva, Esq., Auckland, N.Z. Dear Mr Levs, —I have received a copy of the “Weekly Graphic,” fleet number, and take it for granted that it is ydurself I have to thank for its dispatch* It is a very fine production, and would not have been* excelled here. The .preliminary work of getting together all th<9 matter, and the great variety of pictures, shows an admirable planning, and an equally admirable carrying through of the scheme. Some of the sea pier tures are Al, and I heartilv congratulate you and your staff upon the good work shown. I was iu London last week, and. culling at the New Zealand l*ress Agency office, had an opportunity of running through a few weeks of vour issues and seeing the pictures. The local scenes interested me more than the picture^,of the fleet, and I am parcacnlarlv struck with the excellent wav in which you etch and print your blocks. Trusting you are well, and with kind regards,— Believe me to remain yours truly. H. READ. The second is a letter received from Mr J. Walter Thompson, President of the J. Walter Thompson Co., one of the largest advertising agencies in the world.
