Excerpt from The Forest Ranger: And Other Verse
Dear guthrie: I have read every word of your collection of verses of the Forest Service, all of it with keen interest, much of it with deep sym pathy and real delight. You have put me, with every other Forest Service man, deeply in your debt. Nothing in years has so brought back to me the Spirit of the old days, and nothing has confirmed in me so clearly the belief long held that the Service now is the same as it was when I knew it by daily contact.
For half a generation I have been convinced that no body of men in our Government service, and that means in any Government service in the world, has so high a standard of efficiency and such fine and generous devotion to duty as the United States For est Service, or is rendering in proportion to its num bers so extensive and valuable public service.

Excerpt from The Forest Ranger: And Other Verse
Mr. Jno. D. Guthrie, Flagstaff, Ariz.
Dear Guthrie: I have read every word of your collection of verses of the Forest Service, all of it with keen interest, much of it with deep sympathy and real delight. You have put me, with every other Forest Service man, deeply in your debt. Nothing in years has so brought back to me the spirit of the old days, and nothing has confirmed in me so clearly the belief - long held - that the Service now is the same as it was when I knew it by daily contact.
For half a generation I have been convinced that no body of men in our Government service, and that means in any Government service in the world, has so high a standard of efficiency and such fine and generous devotion to duty as the United States Forest Service, or is rendering in proportion to its numbers so extensive and valuable public service.
Our people generally know that the Forest Service is clean and able, and can be trusted, but they have no conception of what it has passed through to reach its present well-earned place. Naturally, they do not realize the difficulties and responsibilities of the individual forest officer in his daily work. But the men who wrote these verses know, and I know too.
