Also, I would not be against reprints. There is only one so
far who has objected to reprints, while there have been
several asking you to reprint A. Merritt's "People of the
Pit." It would not only satisfy your present readers, but,
because of the great popularity of A. Merritt among the
reading circles of to-day, it would gain for you many more
readers.
Harl Vincent is an indispensable acquisition to "our"
magazine. His stories are not only all excellent but his
stories all contain good science. He will bring you many new
readers.
May I add my voice to every other reader's in the cry for
the reprinting of "People of the Pit," by A. Merritt? Why
not give us some stories by him? He's pretty near the best
writer living to-day.
I don't care for the Mars stories by Burroughs. He's too
much long sword and short sword. A Merritt, however, is the
man for you to get and keep.
The schedule for July looks "doggone good" and suggestive to
the imagination. You might increase the contents of the
book.
The only thing wrong with the stories is that you have too
many repetitions. Please get A. Merritt. If you publish
stories by him you will see a very noticeable increase in
your subscription column. Another author who would repeat A.
Merritt's action on your subscription column is Dr. Edward
Elmer Smith. Please see about these authors.--Gabriel

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.
