What loving couple were suddenly and accidentally burst in upon by who one night with the lights out and the radio sweet and low?

Who set a neat trap for Brown and Benson in the clubroom. And Brown and Benson walked blithly by for the first time on record failing tos top and check up on the condition of the clubroom.

Who are the neighborhood nuisances that go up the ally behind the Old Wilshire Mansion, attend to some secret business about midnight, and then create a God-awful racket, running down the ally shouting. CHARGE! CHARGE! CHARGE, waking up defense workers and frightening poor harmless kittens?

Cpr. Gus Willmorth, ex-director LASFS, sens veemailetter he's in bonnie ol' Great Britain! Says Gus, in part, "Noticed the dread fact that magazines do not seem to be selling in England these days and am really afraid that I shall have to depend upon America for my supplyof STF. The most interesting and intelligent thing I can get to read in the army seems to be defective novels whose authors try to pick out da least obvious character in their stories to be the bloody villain who with utmost callousness murders everyone they can lay a deadly instrument to." Club has rectified this scandalous situation by donated copies of all stfantasy pubs (except ASQ & FAQ) since Gus sailed overseas, single issues being contributed by a dozen different old fan friends, and each inscribed with messages of encouragement and endearment

"Have written to Rosenblum," he continues, "and hope to hear from him soon. And you should envy me, my fair ones, with such a chance to visit all of these Anglicharacters and press the hand that keep the flame burning in these war-torn isles. By this time I can almost understand English!"

Later, word has been received from Frank Parker of the famous Cosmos Club of England, informing Gus has contacted them and an in-person meet is anticipated in the near future.

Gus also states: "Shall try to look up Odd Jno if I can find any suggestions as to hwere he might be holed up. If I see any small ones with extra-ordinary powers I will delve into the matter at once."

And an aside to Forry: "Shall convey love of you to all Anglofans and shall indeed press your caresses upon their sisters. I'll concentrate on trying to bring one of these Anglofannes home with me and carry the movement to foreign soil."
