_From Young Miss Nightingale_

Dear Editor:

I have been wanting to write to you for a long time but only
now am I able to do so. When I first got a copy of your
magazine I just grabbed it and started reading it. That
magazine had the first installment of "Brigands of the Moon"
in it. Now, after one magazine has been read I nearly burst
until the next one comes.

As for the writers, I like Ray Cummings, Harl Vincent,
Sewell Peaslee Wright, and Murray Leinster best. I like
interplanetary stories best. I also like stories of the
Fourth Dimension and those of ancient races of people living
in uninhabited parts of the earth. So far I have liked
especially well "The Ray of Madness," "Cold Light," "From
the Ocean Depths" and its sequel "Into the Ocean's Depths,"
"Brigands of the Moon," and "Murder Madness." Of course, I
like the others too. I am only a mere girl (that accounts
for this poor typewriting)--only ten years old--but I know
my likes and dislikes.--Ellen Laura Nightingale, 223 So.

_Yessir--H. W. Wessolowski_

Dear Editor:

I have just finished the June issue of Astounding Stories.
It contained some very interesting stories, such as
"Brigands of the Moon," by Ray Cummings, "The Moon Master,"
by Charles W. Diffin, "Murder Madness," by Murray Leinster,
and "Giants of the Ray," by Tom Curry. Although "Out of the
Dreadful Depths," by C. D. Willard, was a good story, it
does not belong in a Science Fiction magazine.

One of the best improvements you could make on Astounding
Stories right now is to cut all edges smooth. I would like
to see at least one full page picture with each story.

Wesso is the only good artist you have. Is Wessolowski his
real name?--Jack Darrow, 4225 N. Spaulding Avenue, Chicago,

Anent Reincarnation.

Dear Editor:

In the July issue of Astounding Stories, a correspondent,
Worth K. Bryant, asks some thought-provoking questions about
the fascinating subject of reincarnation. Although I have
written to Mr. Bryant personally, I would like to present my
views on the subje
