 and next I like Doom of the House of Duryea, by Peirce."

John R. Small writes from a CCC camp in Maryland: ”In my humble opinion the two best stories of the year so far have been The Crystal Curse by Eando Binder and Doom of the House of Duryea by Earl Peirce, Jr."

Jack Darrow, of Chicago, writes: "Just time for a card of protest against the policy of all stories complete. Stories such as Golden Blood cannot be published under this policy. As Ziegfeld glorified the American girl, seems to be trying to glorify the nude—American or otherwise."

Pettersen Marzoni, of Birmingham, Alabama, writes: "I want to extend my sympathy to over the loss of Robert E. Howard. His Conan was not only one of the most vivid figures in fiction, his philosophy of regarding every obstacle as only something to be overcome was grand philosophy for any man during these last and trying six years. May you find his like, though that seems a futile wish."

Justus Schifferes, of Minneapolis, writes: "I want to put in a vote of 'excellent' for the story In the Dark by Ronal Kayser, which appears in the August-September issue of . To me, at any rate, the story strikes just the right chord of realism and horror."

Henry Kuttner, of Beverly Hills, California, writes: "Very pleasing issue, November, containing only one story I didn't like. Did you notice, in the Eyrie, a reference to the 'Virgin Finlay'? What has the maligned Mr. Finlay to say about that?"

Edmond Hamilton writes from New Castle, Pennsylvania: "Congratulations on Bassett Morgan's swell story, Midas. It is one of the best stories you've had for a long time, I thought."

Henry Allen Vaux, of New York City, writes: "Should you continue to avail yourself of such material as Dorothy Quick writes for your magazine you will, I am quite sure, find a lively interest in new readers. Here, in my humble estimation, is a woman who handles her subjects with intelligence, ease and a technic that is within the compass of anyone who enjoys this lighter fiction."
