that announcement in the January number—and the tumult of emotion that overwhelmed me when I held the promised issue and found that it was so. Seabury Quinn's yarn gets my vote for being the best, though Hindin's is not far behind. And I mustn't forget The Transgressor by Henry Kuttner, so very short but baffling to the imagination. The reprint was excellent. Don't think I care much for your new serial, though. The Double Shadow was just a lot of high words to me. Smith can turn out stuff much better than that.

You have, since the new ownership, given us something new and thrilling, besides the stories each month. The return of JPD [Doolin] who can really draw well when he tries. (The best illustration for the November issue was The Nameless City.) Then Virgil Finlay came home in the December number with More Lives Than One (best drawing in issue), that most delightful tale by Seabury Quinn. January—the cover by Findlay and better illustrations (The Fifth Candle took the prize). February, the most amazing issue of all—160 pages—an astounding feat of good sense, and long sought after by us all. Who could ask for more? But you give us more. First, you bring back H. S. DeLay after a long absence. His filmy, mysterious works of art are just the thing for the weird type of magazine. You present a serial by Manly Wade Wellman which has caught my interest more firmly than any other serial ever has. You print stories by ]]Author:Clark Ashton Smith|Clark Ashton Smith]] and Donald Wandrei, both away from the fold too long a time. You give us two sonnets by H. P. Lovecraft. I could go on and on with all the marvels you have accomplished. Speaking of the latter two authors, couldn't some of your poets present a series
