18 AMATEUR CORRESPONDENT the weird stuff and---gods!---stamp collecting?" * * * Joseph C. Kempe, of De Soto, Missouri, contributes this short but analytical comment: "I just received the May-June issue of your magazine, and must say that it is indeed a splendid little publication. It supplies an important 'big-mag' element which has become atrophied in the amateur race." * * * It is indeed warming to the editorial heart---and contrary to whatever notions some of you may have, we do have a heart---to read a letter such as the following by Norman O'Connor, of Montpelier, Vermont. He writes, with an enthusiasm we are certain he is going to be ashamed of when he sees this in print: "Your introductory copy of the Amateur Correspondent was received and read with eagerness. I found it to be all that the editorial promised it to be. The short story was of high quality and carried a supreme note of that air of fear and horror and was surrounded by that inexpressible quality of beauty, enhanced by a pervading air of mystery, that was so much loved by the late Lovecraft. As I concluded perusing the publication my eye was caught by the offer which stood out on the back cover. Imagine, a fine volume of poetry in addition to a year's subscription to the Correspondent for the mere sum of twenty-five cents! After reading this offer, my mind was made up. Such an offer would surely uproot the most critical reader from his seat of cynicism. To sum it all up, I am enclosing my twenty-five cents, for which please send me the volume of poetry by Lovecraft and also a subscription to the Correspondent." * * * From Joe Hatch, of Lawrence, Kansas, come the following comprehensive criticisms: "The new format is THE WHITE ELEPHANT (Combined with "The Georgia-man of Atlanta, Ga. and "My Hobby" of Ceylon) A Bi-monthly Journalette with World-wide Circulation Short articles on stamps and various other hobbies, history, geography, science, travel, foreign notes, contests, etc. Official organ of "2 x 4 Postmark Exchange", "Canada Cover Club", "Lanka Stamp League".
