 the number of pages I passed. I like your policy of having several illustrations for the cover story. I sincerely hope that you maintain this policy, especially if the stories are illustrated by the incomparable Finlay."

George C. Bowring writes from Los Angeles: "It is now after midnight. The February came to hand today, so I dug up the previous three issues and spent a most satisfactory evening reading I Found Cleopatra. Not since the last Merritt story have I enjoyed a tale quite so much. Kelley handles the weird parts of his story with admirable restraint."

Joseph Gaviani writes from Roxbury, Massachusetts: "First place in the March WT belongs to Mr. Derleth's The Return of Hastur, the only really weird story in the issue.

Accept my thanks for the many hours of enjoyment your choice of stories has provided me with, and my hope that we may have many more weird tales that live up to the name."

I especially enjoy the stories by Seabury Quinn and Clark Ashton Smith. So enthusiastic has been my interest in  that four of my friends have become regular purchasers of your magazine, influenced by my praise of your stories."
