 Robert E. Howard's Conan stories they wish to sell As an old-time reader of  it goes without saying I think it's a grand magazine. I would not be such a constant reader if it hadn't proved itself years ago. Please print this."

Kristine Karkau, of Buffalo, writes: "My dear man! Now what's up the old editorial sleeve? Has y'all done had a change of heart? Don't tell me you've up and cut off the lovely ladies from the covers for good? Or are you just giving the other side of the 'nudes question' a chance? J. Allen St. John sure knows how to draw some dead-lookin' folksies, that's a fac'. (P. S. Who's the lumpy lady in the foreground?) Anyways, he's good, for real! Give us now another story by C. L. Moore and let St. John draw the illustration for it. F'instance. What do you suppose he'd draw up one of them thar Shambleau critters to look like? Ugh! Do one—Mr. St. John—you're O. K. Let the horrors multiply and may the nightmares gallop where they list. I don't believe there has ever been a better issue of than the October. Every story is the last word in excellence. The Tree of Life was the best, in my opinion, with all the rest of the stories running neck and neck for place. I couldn't say any one of them was better than the rest. I am really sincere when I say that no other magazine can ever hope to equal or even approach the all-around excellence of WT. Only one thing is lacking—an author's page. With that, it would be perfect. By the way, what happened to that idea? I s'pose it's gone where the woodbine twineth, as most good ideas do. Just think how much the millions that have read and liked Mr. Howard's stories would have appreciated a picture andbiography of him! Keep up the good work. Your magazine is tops."

A. R. Brown, of East Hampton, New York, writes: "I've been waiting for a long time to see another story by Dorothy Quick in your pages. I thought The Horror in the Studio that she wrote the best weird story I ever read, and The Lost Door is even better. Don't wait so long before you have another by her. The Lost Door gets my vote,
