page 6. the various diphthongs and consonant combinations, it ought to be very effective. AAGH: Excellent material. Article on Telepathy very well done. Quest of Foo-stone had the perfect ending. Bit on stenches proved its own contention. It was lovely in a stinking sorta way. Visit with Cabell unusual. Keep it up. FFF 1941 YEARBOOK: Very Welcome. How glad we are that some fans have the energy to compile these excellent works of reference. We find many occasions to use them and bless their producers. MOONSHINE: Very nice issue. Hectoing quite good, and two review columns welcome. As to book review... It is our contention that Sammy was in too much of a hurry. The book had him running. You have him walking. We maintain he should crawl. After all, first things must come first. Now you see even when he was walking he was going by too fast for them to reach out of the mission, grab him, and convert him. Of course, with the city officials not chipping in much, the staff was doubtless underpaid, and not so quick and enthusiastic. So Sammy needs must crawl. Besides that would give him time to remember he was a Jew in the first place and didn't have any truck with Christianity. Or something. SUSTAINING PROGRAM: Demn it! The whole issue was intensely interesting, but nowhere did I feel strongly impelled to dip in an oar. Those "undulated" staples you noticed for the first time have been used on every publication ever put out by NOVA PRESS. I guess the idea behind them is that they stay put better. As far as the 18 pages is concerned, you can make Sus-Pro that big every time and please us. It is always one of the high spots of the Mailing. MATTERS OF OPINION: Also interesting. We side with you regarding discipline -- that is self-enforced discipline. That forced upon one by another (such as life in the army) we do not quite approve. It may be necessary sometimes, but it means a loss of independence, even though temporary. That we feel is not good. But to lay out a course of action, and then stick to it, is very good. Wish we could do it once. PETITION CARD: Duly signed and mailed. Pat, pat, pat (on our back). FANDANGO: Fanzine Anthology sounds like a fine project. We stand ready to help all we can. One thing about farming out the dummying and stencil cutting --- it seems a shame to make such a nice volume a hodge-podge of different type and format. Couldn't the thing be standardized someway? Couldn't either elite or pica type be decided on, the number of lines to a page and leters to a line set? There are even a few other fine points of format that could be determined. Anyway, we're for it. JINX: Glad to see you back again Harry. DAW's article good. He sure spoke a huge beakfull. Schmarje letter slightly dated (about two years). The neon sign burned out. FUNGI FROM YUGGOTH: Many thanks for a fine collection of HPL's poems. WE've read them before, but are glad to have them in this form.
