b A N S H E E #3 December, 1943, Fapa Fellow Faps: As recorded in Banshee #2, I went to Boston to deliver the stuff I had fpr the mailing to Swisher. While there I learned that the mailing was going out at least a week late. And when I arrived back home, on Monday, December 6, I found a missive from Paul Spencer, containing an edition of his column. Paul had not gone overseas or anything of the sort, but was still in Seattle. So without even thinking about it I decided to publish these Sayings for Post-mailing. And then I decided to publish a couple of other items at the same time. Here they are. Marlow's column hasn't come in yet, but it might, and if it does it will also be in this issue. This mailing would have been darned big even without the ShangriLAddition, and with that it is undoubtedly the largest ever. Incidentally, I am counting the Cosmic Circle stuff mailed by the LASFS as three items, since it made up that number of mailings when sent out separately by Clod. Gee, what a lot of fun it's going to be to comment on all this! Of course, the bulk of it comes from a comparatively small percentage of the membership, but it shows what can be done. Maybe in the next mailing we'll have something from nearly everyone. What about it? Personals: Doc, I didn't receive your post-mailing. This was probably due to your sending it to the address in the last FA, which was by then out-dated. To keep my files complete and because some of the comments on your material were quite intriguing, I'd like to have it. I'm willing to pay for it if necessary, but please send me an extra copy, if any. ... Elmer, read the foregoing. It applies, without any changes at all, to you as well as Drygulch. A note about my own stuff in the main mailing: The International J J O'Malley Fairy Godfather Association has nothing to do with the Tucker variety of godfathers. When I wrote the announcement I didn't know that the suckers who helped sponsor the fifth annish of LeZ would be called f g's. My brand is entirely different; in fact, different from anything that has ever appeared in fanzines. The only way you can get one is to write me and ask to be a member. The advantages are immense. Don't miss this opportunity! So far, there is one member. A postal card is sufficient. If you continue to ignore this, you're undoubtedly a moron. I have spoken I am contemplating a change of policy for both Caliban and Banshee, one which I think will find favor with everyone (and be more work for me, prob'ly). It will become apparent in the next mailing, unless I veto it, which is unlikely. See you then. (1-9-44) Larry Shaw 1301 State St Sch'dy 4, N Y
