_Yes Sir!_

Dear Editor:

I read Astounding Stories all the time, although I'm just a
boy. I think they're O. K. They give me a great "kick."

I think "The Moon Master" was the best story I ever read.
Please ask Mr. Diffin to write more like it.

But then all the stories are really peppy.--Jack Hudson, St.
Mark's School, Southborough, Massachusetts.

_"Undoubtedly the Best"_

Dear Editor:

Your magazine is undoubtedly the best Science Fiction "mag"
on the stands. Why? Because of your authors. There is not
another Science Fiction book on the stands that has stories
by Victor Rousseau, Murray Leinster Ray Cummings, A. T.
Locke, A. J. Burks, C. W. Diffin, S. W. Ellis and many
others.

Some of your readers want stories by Dr. David H. Keller, Ed
Earl Repp and Walter Kately. Well, I just wanted to tell you
that I have stopped reading all other Science Fiction "mags"
on account of the frequency of these authors in them. So
please, please, don't destroy my last stronghold.

Also, I would not be against reprints. There is only one so
far who has objected to reprints, while there have been
several asking you to reprint A. Merritt's "People of the
Pit." It would not only satisfy your present readers, but,
because of the great popularity of A. Merritt among the
reading circles of to-day, it would gain for you many more
readers.

Harl Vincent is an indispensable acquisition to "our"
magazine. His stories are not only all excellent but his
stories all contain good science. He will bring you many new
readers.

May I add my voice to every other reader's in the cry for
the reprinting of "People of the Pit," by A. Merritt? Why
not give us some stories by him? He's pretty near the best
writer living to-day.

I don't care for the Mars stories by Burroughs. He's too
much long sword and short sword. A Merritt, however, is the
man for you to get and keep.

The schedule for July looks "doggone good" and suggestive to
the imagination. You might increase the contents of the
book.

The only thing wrong with the stories is that you have too
many repetitions. Please get A. Merritt. If you publish
stories by him you will see a very noticeable increase in
your subscription column. Another author who
