his stories (especially The Fall—etc.) are studied in our high schools. Thus I believe that tire great majority of your readers will join with me in urging you to restrict the reprints to stories from the early issues of Weird Tales. My second squawk concerns illustrations. Those in the June-July issue hit an all-time high, with both Finlay and Ferman doing a great job. But what a let-down in this issue! You seem to be returning to the half or quarter-page illustrations. Don't! For my part, I would prefer full-page illustrations for each of the longer stories, even at the cost of excluding one of the shorts. But worst of all, two of the principal stories have no illustrations at all. Is your head bowed in shame, Editor Wright? Well, don't feel too bad; just watch yourself in the future." [Couldn't be helped this time, Mister; the artist who was to illustrate those two stories injured his wrist, and printer's deadlines wait for no man.] "With the above off my chest, I will conclude with a few random thoughts. Best recent stories: Return of Hastur, Susette, Celephais, Hellsgarde, Willow Landscape, Quest of Iranon. . . . Please, keep all science-fiction out of WT. Don't print the entire contents on the cover. And finally, let me plead for at least an occasional cover by Brundage. I assure you that the above criticisms are offered with the best interests of my favorite magazine, Weird Tales, at heart."

Julian Wolfenstein writes from New York City: "Surely, amidst all the wealth of praise in the Eyrie, you could find place for one slightly in the other direction. Anyway, I have been mentally dictating this letter for years, and this seems to be as good a time as any to write it. Let's take the letters to the Eyrie. Such praise! Such adulation! If the stories themselves only matched it, you would be the possessors of a fortune in original manuscripts. If a story is good, it leaves a pleasant tingling feeling within me, but I hate to pick up a later issue and read that the story was 'superb,' 'sublime,' 'better than Poe,' or, heaven help us, 'oogie.' Such letters look better in the Editor's Hope Chest than in print. A word about your covers. Now,
