10 seeing the favorite literature once more? Frankly, I was nearly as pleased as if the war had ended! I got so interested in "Planet" that I nearly got pinched & put in the jug for reading by candlelight after "lights out". Privately or publicly, please convey my congratulations to Don Wollheim for his yarn. 'The Planet that Time Forgot"--he handled the plot very neatly, & I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. His technique has improved enormously since last I read his material of a few years back. My colleagues in the barracks have all requested that I pass the mags on - so it looks as though I've already made some converts! The first bit of USA to reach me was No. 4 "Pluto"--& I'd greatly appreciate it if you would thank the Mannings' for me. I read the mag right through one evening--& it made me quite homesick for the "good old days" seeing all those letters by the familiar pals. I shall be leaving this camp shortly, for the coast somewhere, & expect to have more space time (er, guess that piece of penmanship is "spare"-- twas the science fiction influence)-- so, now I have broken the ice to you, I hope to be able to write you every 2 or 3 weeks. " Stand by for further comminiques. "
