H. P. Lovecraft's article brings out many points in the ability of this immortal which have never been mentioned in his biographies. "The issues have been consistently pleasing. The September had the edge over the October number on account of variety."--Lester Anderson, Hayward, Calif. "I wish you to know that the idea of dedicating each issue is a very fine one. I hope you can keep on giving us such fine material that has never before seen print."--F. Lee Baldwin, Asotin, Wash. "Oh--hurray and other such expletives! It just tickled me pink to find some more of H. P. Lovecraft's works 'Fungi from Yuggoth,' 'Tis many a long year I've been waiting to find more of them."--Gertrude Hemken, Chicago, Ill. "I am extremely glad to see the new TFF, which manages to hold much of interest despite the space I use up. As I said before, I surely appreciate the courtesy of the dedication. I shall be anxious to see the coming Smith and Poe numbers."--H. P. Lovecraft, Providence, R. I. "Congratulations on the new and greatly improved appearance of TFF. The new cover adds its dignity."--Richard Ely Morse, Washington, D. C. * * * * * WEIRD WHISPERINGS by Schwartz and Weisinger
