who, we are happy to 
hear, may become and Angeleño in a matter of mos., his Mother alredy being out here, rote us a note as follows on Mon Morn Dec 30-40 from 224W6, Hastings, Minn: "Dear Co-Eds, New Year number of VOM arrived this morning, in xchange for #1 FANTIE I presume. Maybe we can arrange a satisfactory exchange basis now, eh? Inasmuch as this is the first ish of VOM I've seen since #7, I found it quite enjoyable. "  The cover pic was a real beauty .  However, I demand that you secure Marg. Brundage and print nothing on the cover but nudes in oils. (Better than Brundage, our Nude Deal! Hotter than a fan feud, our next cover!  U askt for it!  Vom will have to be sent by express, next ish, as it never woud pass thru the mails with the red-hot cover we've got!  We GUARANTEE THIS TO BE THE HOTTEST COVER EVER TO APPEAR ON ANY MAG. Due to its extremely spicy nature, we will not be able to send this to any fan under 21. All coming into this category automaticly will have subs extended one ish.)  "
The letters were all fine, with the exception of that masterpiece of idiocy by the Southern lads. Moskowitz's letter, somehow, sounded rather pathetic!  "  If it weren't for the fact that I don't think it would work, I would write VOM a nice long letter about the first issue of that excellently hektoed, new fan magazine, THE FANTASITE, in a manner similar to Bradbury's.

the Very Swell Mother of the foregoing fan, payd a surprise visit to the Ackerman Flat one Sunday recently, where a very enjoyable afternoon  of chit-chat & look-at was had. (& bliev U me, Flobro isnt hard to look at!)
Afterward she rote:  "Since my visit with you, I've become more interested than ever in S.F.S. and can fully understand why Phil has the 'bug'.  " Perhaps before very long," she said,  " I will be one of S.F.S' most ardent fans."  & signd herself  "A future fan---"  Shortly thereafter a malignant cold-germ caut up with her & got her down so she coudnt get to town to an LASFS meeting but she now is recoverd & we expect her at our next.  In looks she is the leslie perri of Shangri-LA.  & at last report had become a veritable "fiend" for stf!

Fotograf of [signed] Vomoswoth [/signed] in our Apr ish (no foolin'!) -- meanwhile, a letter from our Australian chum, come from "Del Monte", Kangaroo Pt Rd, Syndey, NSW:  "Here I sit, writing on the back of a proof of pg 2 of the new big COSMOS---Chicon! by the 4sjargoneer---and no fans barred!  Before me lie the Chicon Voice and Fortier's Mercury. First let me congratulate you on the splendid presentation & content of the Voice. So nothing was changed, eh? What about Gallett?  Sacré Luna, nomme d'un plume, etc! But it was marvelous...  The Last Brickbat was not so hot, but on the whole, to any newcomer, VoM was 100 super plus A1 etcetera, de profundis, ad astra, ad infinitum! Suggestion: why not print volume & "whole" nos on the Voice. Last ish was void of lettering except for 'August'.  No 8, I presume?  (U presume ryt. Twas mentiond thruout the editorial opening.)   MERCURY was excellent. Well set out, beautiful mimeoing, (the LA ish) good material. I hope to trade with J.J. if he will? Well, will you, J?  (Jas Bush now ed. Praps 2J will call this request to his attn?)  Best-liked by Mr. Molesworth (poo--that hack!!) was Bradbury's column Say, will somebody tell Bradbury he owes me three issues of Fufa in trades? (Somebody has reminded him about 10 times.) Hey, Hollerbochen, be honest and koff up! Next boat was the forgotten fan...  I liked that eye! Very well done. Lithoed? (Yes) Anyway, my congrats to the Starlite Pubs.  The new 'Luna'ized Oz will feature first part of Neville Friedlander's defeat-of-humanityarn--"OUR TIME CAME."
