VOICE OF THE IMAGI-NATION 10 each (Elopo refers to pix snapt at Elarcy's Tallwood Plantation), and I'll donate them to you. I've got Milty playing with blocks, (say no more—let's have that one!) "The time and effort spent in printing will be more than repaid as I think of the time and effort you'll spend pasting them in place, and chuckle merrily to myself. , . . (150 prints, thanx. O, dear; we inadvertently have revealed our secret circulation~figures! Not, of course, that any fan'll believe 'em. But it helps impress our advertisers, without whose between 14 & $15s' worth of advertising--ie: $1--each month we never could afford to offer U such expensive issues, which really aren't so expensive when U get rite down to consider how cheaply Assorted Services now can Iitho for U...) 17. I have nothing to say on the Alex. Roberts question. I outgrew his stage some seven years ago. "19. I love your Bok covers. "20. Your Chicon jingle reminds me I turned out a couple of my own...both unprintable. And something about meeting Acky, Morojo, & Pogo? When you take a trip to Chicago. But it stank." GHGalles [sp?] Par Avion via Lisbonne et Clipper! 18/III/41 "Months since I wrote you last...if you ever received my letter of November 19th, (publisht #13) which was sent from Paris through an american friend going to Switzerland. T'was no fault of mine if I did not write again. But things happen in months and there am I, at Marseilles after an uneventful escape from the occupied zone with my wife. Of course, we were without any kind of *ausweis' to do so, but she is a good trooper and we slipped through the 'line' in the wee hours of the morning helped by a peasant guide . Our firm is editing some kind of a cheap Sunday paper here with reasonable success and we are contemplating the possibility of taking up again the idea of Conquetes. Evidently it shall not be the same pretentious scheme but it can still be a young and energetic magazine full of ideas, new in this country. Science fiction shall have its place on account of its qualities of imagination and daring. I have only one aim: to give to our youth the magazine full of inspiration they need to buck up their morale and give them hope in better days... GHG/SWT. 68 rue de Rome, Marseilles, B. du R." (Bravo! et sentiments respectueux.) S0H0 SECTION: "Larry & Lylda" (Farsaci); "Pardon slight delay:—I wanted B.A.S. (Bernie) (Seufert) to hear your record (and swell idea, too!) before sending it on to Miske. It's already on its way again & with a couple 'Kacti' phonograph needles I thought it would be best to enclose." Thus from Rochester NY, Next from Cleveland 0: "Received record titled SFS Meeting from Farsaci today. (16 Apr 41) JCM "—no comment. Ray J. Sienkiewicz: "The voice of each one of you seemed to me to fit each person properly. That is, each Angel has the voice I imagined he or she does have. Yerke has the voice of a chubby individual, Forrie that of a genial person, Morojo that of a quiet, confident person, and all the others their proper voices. I must tell you one other thing about the record, it is 'orange peeling'. 'Orange peeling' is caused by the record drying up." What, the imagi-natives drying up? Impossible! Tucker: "Ackerman has mike fright.... Daugherty has it too. Only Morojo sounds natural. Somebody at the Chicon told me Morojo would make a natural teacher..... she is such a stickler for details and pronunciation. Can you not picture her teaching the 3-b class in applied rocketry? Barsoom's Thoris (O'Brien, as I remember) has an almost-masculine voice, from this end of the record, Bradbury sounded just the opposite ... oh, woo woo! Regarding the long whistle and the remark to the effect that 'that wasn't science-fictional...' what happened, did Ackie show his leg?" What, & have U pull it, Pong? Attn. Erle Korshak! Did U ever receive the record just referd to by Tuck, forward it? We have had no word of it from Tucker's turn on. The one beginning "Greetings, stfans & stfettes! This is 4e Ackerman speaking to U over station VOM'.' Attn. Jack Speer! Did U receive the LASFS Xmas Set, the large double disks, with info to forward to Henry Ackermann? 'Dublin', did U get 'em? Harry, have U heard 'em? Who has 'em now? Scott? Julie? Kadine? Hans? Leslie? Ram? Art???
