all. All of them aren't grouches. For example: a certain
person sent one of the Science Fiction magazines about the
most vicious and uncomplimentary letter that magazine had
ever received. Yet in this issue of Astounding Stories he
jumps on the knockers for daring to say anything against
Astounding Stories! So you see that all knockers are not
hopeless!

I notice that you have complied with one of my requests, and
have published an autobiography of Mr. Wentzler, although
there is no picture. Perhaps, as Mr. Wentzler suggests, that
is for the best. The readers of Astounding Stories are
accustomed to pictures of grotesque and weird-looking
inhabitants of other planets, but a picture of Mr. Wentzler
may prove to be too much. Or, if you do put it in, you might
entitle it "Wesso's Conception of a Martian."

I hope Mr. Wentzler does not take the above paragraph too
seriously. Like him, I was hit on the head when I was but a
babe. In my case, it was a bronze statue that proved to be
my undoing. Unfortunately, they were never able to
straighten out the bend in that statue, which was the result
of its contact with my dome.

As for the stories in the May issue, they were all perfect,
every one of them. Having all the stories perfect in each
issue is becoming a habit with you. Keep up this habit. For
first place I nominate "When the Moon Turned Green." I
considered Mr. Wells' previous story, "The Gate to Xoran"
the best short story you had ever printed, but the later one
surpasses it. You will not be making a mistake if you give
us many more stories by this Author. I do not need to say
anything else about the rest of the stories--they are all
excellent.

Don't you think that it is about time for Astounding Stories
to become a semi-monthly?--Michael Fogaris, 157 Fourth

Dear Editor:

I read every Science Fiction magazine on the market, and can
truthfully say that yours is the best of them all.

Of course, there is always room for improvement, and some of
the stories published in the May issue were not so hot. Meek
always gives me a pain in the neck, but Cummings is an ace,
though the installment in this issue dragged considerably.
