anything might be
possible to-morrow. I do not like love stories or much humor
in this type of stories.

Stories of other worlds or of the Fourth Dimension always
interest me, because there is no limit to the imagination
there.

Why not have a discussion column and print some of the
letters? It would encourage more to write, and give you
their opinion: and, whether good or bad, should help you
please the majority.

Some will maybe say the cover is too vivid--but that was
what attracted my eye when I picked it out from among many
others.

Most of your stories in the first edition were good. I liked
"The Beetle Horde" and "Phantoms of Reality" best. Also
noticed the "Spawn of the Stars" next issue, which sounds O.
K. Hoping you all success in this type of stories.--C. E.

_A Young Reader's Favorites_

Dear Editor:

I am writing you, per your request in your first issue of
Astounding Stories. They are most entertaining. I have read
three of the stories and they are excellent. You asked the
readers to tell you the kind of stories we liked best. I
like stories that concern the future of aviation. I like
interplanetary stories, also the stories about the Fourth
Dimension. I like Cummings', Rousseau's, Leinster's Meek's,
Vincent's and Starzl's writing. Your magazine is sure worth
twenty cents. You could put more science in your stories.

Please hold H. Wesso, your artist. He can really draw. I
have seen his drawings in other magazines. And you may
console yourself with the thought that you have one
continuous reader. I feel that your magazine is going to be
a success. I am also expressing the thoughts of other
readers. I am only 15 years old, but I like to read good
science stories, nevertheless. I hope to see you in next
month's magazine.--Ward Elmore, 2912 Avenue J. Ft. Madison,
Iowa.

_A Contented Reader_

Dear Editor:

Congratulations on your new publication, Astounding Stories.
I certainly enjoyed reading the January issue. I believe
that this magazine is the answer to the prayer of those
readers who are desirous of something different, something
unique. Another feature is that you are charging only 20c a
copy for a magazine that is really worth seve
