Inside front recto

Mirage", "Ship in the Pool", "7 Lines of Old French" & "3 Footprints to Satan". All kidding aside, can U feature that? We can --& will!--fate willing. Mr Merritt, U have til about 10 Nov to get that article to us; the sooner the better, & we'll announce the name & nature of the feature to the fanation via Unger's FFF; but U have til then, & we'll let U noe, if the article hasnt put in an apearance by Nov 10, if we possibly are in a position to stretch the deadline. 'Cause we--& fandom--certainly woud like an article from U! Incidently, don't overlook the scoop about a New Merritt Bk, even if nonfantasy. --Well, that gives U a glimmer of the glamor of our Annish--

Serafs (simplifyd spelling for seraphs) is synonymous with Angels, I believ? Let us then coin the conjunctive neologism, serafan...meaning fangel! A stfan who makes with the semolians to help a publisher along. Such a fan is Gus Willmorth, thru whose courtesy & cash this ish's cover is presented to U; & Gus's goodeeds will be in evidence for mos. to come, as lithografy sponsored by him bfor he was drafted continues to appear. The Wright insert in our Annish was payd for by Gus. Yet another Wright, that U'll get in our New Yr Numnb, come outa the pocket of Gus. The Gibson Girl--by Joe, of Albuquerque, NM, who had that special sociologicaletter in Ast for Aug--is presented with the compliments of Joe's friend John Cunningham. John also has prepayd a 2d Gibson Girl, that U'll be getting in '43. Cunningham also contributed $2 tord our fanmograficover; & $2.50 was rcvd from Lloyd Connerley...when an obscure fan name of A Merritt came along & "I contribute the cover gladly for the pleasure Vom has given me"--check for $10 inclosed! Cunn & Conn's donations, therefore, will be put to another use; to wit, the basis of a fund for a 4th fanograficover, about 6 mos. hence. Thanx, all, for these magnificent responses. May U have saccahrine in your coffee, U serafans!

Odd Co-in-ci'dence: Word just has reacht us that our English representative of  novaciousness, the Dyktawo pub Zenith, has had its editor (our sometimes artist Harry Turner) called to the colours, leaving the leading lady in his life to do the dirty work. As Acky dond khakie, Morojo found herself, like Marion, mainly responsible for a "femme". Carry on, girls! If the Mrs does as well by U, Harry, as the Miss by me, we can't miss. My proto-J Bobby Bovard was sposed to be hard at it co-co-editing Vom, & in fact workt some on this ish; but she got jerket off to DC for a job, unavoidably leaving almost the entire burden of production & distribution on Morojo's tiny but capable shoulders. Since being drafted, I've been able to get leave just often enuf to keep nominal control over Vom (Vominal control) during its drafting, or dummying. Incidently, Vomdum this ish goes to Larry SepreShaw-n. Who wants nextun?

Our Halloween Horror was drawn by Angeleno Ray Harryhausen, whose hobby is scaring hell out of people. Ray made my Denvention masque macabre, U may remember. Say, there's another guy whose foto we shoud get for our next cover. Shall try. What say, Ray? Howzabout mailing Morojo a snap? And if the life-model art-study has progrest sufficiently, howzabout a sample of a fantasy girl with a deficiency of dressing? A Harryhau' Frau, so to speak.

The pgs this ish are numberd in genuwine Atlantian. The pronunciation: 1, et; 2, we; 3, set; 4, ket; 5, zret; 6, sot; 7, zum; 8, est; 9, ont; 10, trum; 11, et'ze. This info is strate from a splritrumpet. Had intended to give this Atlantianumbering a bigger play but just don't have the time today. Idea originated from a lecture we had at the LASFS on the Sunken World, by a speaker whose info was psychic. Alas, I have not opportunity to develop the idea.

I hope this more or less takes care of evrything. Tis 10:30am Sun 4 Oct as I type this on dummy. Have yet to stencil preceding pg & this, do all stylusing, & start mimeoing rolling. But hope to have mag completed bfor midnite, & into mails starting Monday. Ad (After Distribution) I want Morojo to rest a couple wks--no mag to make on her mind--bfor tackling the Annish. We hope U'll receive the latter for Thanxgiving. That is, the mag; not Morojo. --Pvt 4e.
