An Open Letter by Ron Holmes Leopold Ferdinand Gratz took the dozen sheets of bilious-colored note-paper from the file. Once again he re-read the letter from across the pond, once again to groan at the responsibilties editing a U.S. fanmag brings. He shuddered again, and squaring his shoulders began to type a reply.......... Dear Fellow Fan, Thanx for your letter, I note you, like all other English fans, are in need of new publications from this side of the Atlantic. Since I wrote last, no fewer than three new magazines have appeared. Of course, I do no know what exactly your taste is in science-fiction. The first I would mention is 'Reproachful Stories', if you want a magazine which is scientifically sound, with interplanetary travel and human interest, I can heartily recommend this mag. I can do no better than to quote the words of its editor, Mr Y Singer. 'Now that the fate of this world is in the balance, and we are forced to look forward. We must consolidate our ideas and picture the perfect world-to-come. Together with the world's most prominent men let us exchange our ideas in "Reproachful Stories".' On the other hand, you may be a fan who prefers literary style-en perfecto, spacewarps and mutants, I can only recommend 'Capt. Creature'. Here, again,

Uma carta aberta por Ron Holmes Leopold Ferdinand Gratz pegou do arquivo uma duzia de folhas do bloco de notas amarelado. Mais uma vez ele releu a carta do outro lado do lago, para novamente suspirar pelas responsabilidades que editar um uma revista de fãs dos EUA traz. Ele estremeceu novamente e ralaxando seus ombros começou a digitar uma resposta......... Querido Amigo Fã, obrigado pela carta, eu noto voçê, assim como todos os outros fãs Ingleses, estão precisando de novas publicações vindas desse lado do Atlântico. Desde a última vez que escrevi, não menos do que três novas revistas apareceram. É claro, eu não sei exatamente qual o seu gosto em ficção cientifica. O que eu mencionaria primeiro é 'Histórias Acusadoras', se você quer uma revista científica, com viagens inteplanetárias e intereses humanos, recomendo essa do meu coração. Não posso fazer nada melhor do que quotar as palavras do editor, Sr. Y Singer. 'Agora que o destino desse mundo está em equilibrio, e nós somos forçados a olhar adiante, devemos consolidar nossa ideias e planejar o mundo ideal. Junto com o homem mais proeminente do mundo, deixe-nos mudar nossas ideias em "Histórias Acusadpras".' Por outro lado, você deve ser um fã que prefere estilo style-en perfecto, rupturas no espaço e mutantes. Eu posso apenas recomendar 'Capitão Criatura'. Aqui, novamente,
