with Wings" and "Women with Wings" appeared in another
magazine and which I enjoyed exceedingly. I believe that to
have these writers as regular contributors would add much to
the interest of the publication.

"_Under My Collar_"

Dear Editor:

I have been reading Astounding Stories for a good while and
I like it fine. I noticed in your last issue that a fellow
by the name of Edwin C. Magnuson was kicking about "The
Readers' Corner." Some of his reasons, I think, for not
liking this magazine are as follows: first, the
illustrations are poor. I believe they are good. Second, he
says that he doesn't like stories such as those written by
Charles W. Diffin, Jackson Gee, Murray Leinster and Victor
Rousseau. He also has in his letter a list of authors whose
works he likes. I do not think they are so hot, with the
exception of Capt. S. P. Meek. Mr. Magnuson also says he is
disgusted with Astounding Stories and would like to quit
reading it. Well, why doesn't he?

I want to say it is a fine mag. I don't like to be a critic,
but that fellow got under my collar. The only thing that
could be done is to publish at least twice a month.

Well, reckon I will sign off. Here is to Astounding Stories.
A better mag can't be found!--Boyd H. Goodman, 2008 McKinney

_From Franklin to Poe_

Dear Editor:

As a Reader of Astounding Stories from the first number I
would like to comment on your magazine regarding your
stories and the subject of reprints.

First, you are publishing one of the best Science Fiction
magazines on the market, and I read three of them. And
although I agree with Mr. Magnuson and others on the subject
of reprints, I do not agree with the former that the paper
is rotten and falls to pieces. I have a complete file of
Astounding Stories to date and I have not noticed any signs
of disintegration amongst them as yet.

You could easily follow the suggestion of Mr. Stephani, and
have a space for good reprints and charge a nickel more. I
believe most of your Readers would approve of it.

The story, "The Sunken Empire," was fine, and it is to the
cr
