nice for Heinlein's 'Requiem'. C U N Denver, by golly if I have to ride the rods. . . . damon
 
((And then here comes one that does Tucker credit. We give you (to keep) one inamicably LBChauvenet))

   Alchemist #4 is here. You'll never speak to me again -- I didn't like it. What a drop from the third issue! And Merritt's piece -- The chapter out of Cosmos -- not only appeared there, but also somewhat revised) in T.W.S. The Old Fanmag reprint was a good idea -- but a poor selection! Maxson's Scoops listings were-- well dull! -- and Takacs is far over my head & bank account. Fischer's thing best in issue, even tho I disagree with it entirely but have no time to write a counter article. Don't suppose you could use it anyway. ((We can always use material, and I hope you don't take the introduction seriously Lou))

((And from a nice chap named Dunmire comes this sweel smelling Orchid. We deny he's any relation to us, or Tucker)) ((Nor on our payroll either))

   Carloads of thanks for THE ALCHEMIST!! It's sure one swell mag. If I can make STELLAR TALES half as interesting I'll be more than satisfied. I am particularly awed by the quiet weird beauty of the black and white drawing by Hunt in the current number. Roy has a beautiful sense of strangeness equalled only by Hannes Bok, and the famous Finlay. Long may he wave his brush!

((Here we have the Fan-Atic himself, CAB Beling))

   The latest issue of Al was better than the previous one with the single exception of Lowndes' Communist propaganda. I disagree with Fischer about Astounding, but he wrote a very interesting article. MORE VERSE! and then still more. Also
