[M13] “To all our friends of the Press,” The Citizen Soldier, July 19, 1843

* Never had a paper more reason to appreciate the gentlemanly kindness and courtesy of the editorial corps throughout the Union, than has the Citizen Soldier.  To all our friends of the Press we tender our sincere thanks, gratified to discover that although the “Citizen Soldier” is published in the very heart of this wide city, where a corrupt and imbecile literature has its birth and existence, yet it is noticed by the discriminate as a faithful exponent of military science, and an unflinching antagonist of literary charlatanism and magazine humbug.
