and his black and white illustrations were exceptionally fine too, as were also Virgil Finlay's, and in fact I don't see how anyone could fail to appreciate all the illustrations in this issue because they were certainly above par."
Lovecraft's Works
Thomas O. Mabbott writes from New York City: "I do not usually like serials; they tend to taper off at the end. But Fearful Rock was excellent, and ended as well as it began. Almuric starts well; may it keep up the pace. I do not know if Lovecraft or Howard was the greater loss, but as Howard was younger, the potential loss was worse.

I'll close."
Stories Always Good
S. Brown, Jr., writes to the Eyrie: "You often state that WT is run by the readers. May I offer a few suggestions then? I have
