DR. LANDIS' REFORMATORY ENTERPRISES
REMARKS IN LETTER FROM PROF. A. KLEIN.
(Prof. Klein is a highly educated German, who lately settled near Norristown and translated the Private Book into German.)
Dr. Landis:
I have the honor to present you hereby the ordered translation of your "Secrets of Generation," in German. . . . It was a larger and more difficult work that I had esteemed it at first. . . . There are also different books of this kind in Germany; but I never could find one there which could be put on side of yours, and it is certain that this, written in good German, will excite the very most attention both in Germany and among many German people who live in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, Washington, etc., and can't read English. Yours, very humble,
F. A. Steiner & Co.,
Gentlemen: The books (by Dr. Landis) you sent were received. . . . I never read a book that contained so much really TRUE and GOOD advice as the book for married persons. Every one should read it. . . .
Dr. Landis,
Sir:—I have received your Book on Marriage, with which my wife and myself are highly pleased, and we are of the opinion that if it were circulated more amongst the people of the United States it would be of great benefit to the country, as well as to individuals.
It is just "The Book" for all married people. You can use my name if it will be of any benefit to you. . . .
I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
