Science fiction -- Periodicals; Science fiction, American -- Periodicals
I have in my possession a story by Ray Cummings named "Into
the Fourth Dimension" and published in another magazine
during the last month of 1926 and first ones of 1927. And in
this story--printed two years before Flagg's story--Cummings
uses almost the same apparatus of passing from one dimension
to another as is used in "Phantoms of Reality." I will not
discuss whether this procedure is to be approved or not.
This letter is not to be construed as an attack on Mr.
Jaeger, or Mr. Flagg, or on either of the two stories under
discussion.
If Mr. Jaeger will let me know I will send him Ray Cumming's
story "Into the Fourth Dimension," as clipped from the
magazines.
I write this letter to the magazine, instead of Mr. Jaeger,
so that if any one was misled by Mr. Jaeger's well meant but
mistaken criticism they will be straightened out.--Donald
Coneyon, Petoskey, Michigan.
_A Wish for Success_
Dear Editor:
I have read both of your first issues. I am writing to say
that I wish you success with your new magazine, which I know
will succeed.
Also to say I wish you would get more of the "Carnes and Dr.
Bird Stories" by Captain S. P. Meek, for I think everybody,
including myself, likes them. I also enjoyed "Creatures of
the Light."--Thomas D. Taylor, 415 So. 7th St., Boise,
Idaho.
_No Kick Any More_
Dear Editor:
I have been a reader of Astounding Stories ever since you
started it, and I guess I'm getting too particular as I
don't get the kick out of it any more that I did out of the
first issues. That is, I don't get the kick out of ALL of
the stories as I did at first. However, "Murder Madness"
sure is a hot one. Why not print a story by Sax Rohmer, H.
G. Wells, or some of them?--H. Elsworth Jones, Box 340, R.
R. 6, Battle Creek, Mich.
_Via Postcard_
Dear Editor:
Astounding Stories is an astounding magazine. It has really
astounding stories. It couldn't be better. There's hardly
room for improvement. May Astounding Stories be more
astounding yet. I like it!--Monroe Hood Stinson, 1742, 12th
Ave., Oakland, California.
_Only Fiction!_
Dear Editor:
I have just finished a story in the February, 1930, issue of
Astounding Stories entitled "Into Space," by Sterner St.
Paul.
I would like to know if it is a true story, if the actions
described in it really happened, or is it merely a story of
fiction.--Dan S. Scherrer, Shawneetown, Ill.
_Perhaps--Soon_
Dear Editor:
I have just finished reading your new magazine, Astounding
Stories. It is the best magazine I have ever read. Keep up
the good work and you will find me a constant reader. I have
only one suggestion to make: Let Astounding Stories come out
every other Thursday.--Harold Kulko, 433 Palmer E., Detroit,
Michigan.
