                  WHO SAID THAT?
                   
                   From West Haven, Conn.
Dear Editors: 
   You must excuse my delay in subscribing to your excellent PLUTO. However you please find 25¢ for a three issue subscription, enclosed. 
   In commenting on PLUTO, I must first of all comment you on an excellent & difficult job. The multi-color mimeoing is really remarkable. Being a publisher myself, I have some acquaintance with two color work, & know how hard it really is--and here you go with 5 color covers. My, my!
   I won't say very much about the material, I hope it's better tho, in future issues. I must protest against Damon's uncalled for linking of FOOFOO with GHU, (may his name be eternally damned) in Gloobermory FOOFOO is infinitely superior to GHUGHU, that to couple the two, is well nigh sacrilegious.  I pray you, don't let it happen again. All in all, a good issue.
                   Yours for FOOFOO,
                        Louis Kuslan.

A great mistake is made, 'tis true;
But now we know just what to do---
We'll stick to the straight & narrow path, 
And burn incense to appease the wrath,
Of the great god, GHU;
And the great god, FOO!

Dear Plutonians,
   I won't say much about # 3 PLUTO, except that it is the FINEST fan mag published! Mimeographing is colossal! Material is Superfine!
                  Yours, 
            Harry Schmarje

         No, Harry didn't say much,
         But it does have a slight BOOSTER touch.

Dear Decker fans:
   Enclosed find a quarter for three issues of PLUTO, the most colorful fan mag I've seen so far. Contents that impressed me most favorable were the editorial, damon knight's literary masterpiece, and the unique advertising rates, & "Bright Stuff By Children". I like your idea of rating stories in "Has & Pros" but disagree with many of your selections. I find some good stories in every mag, but think that ASTOUNDING averages a little better than the rest.
   I have decided to win 3rd, 4th or 5th in your "Prize Contest" preferably fifth.
                Cum toto sinceritate,
                   D.B. Thompson.

PLUTER, noster
Hic epistula gratiasque;
(Heck, we've forgotten our Latin,
So thanx for the etter-lay.)
