FJA speaking-- Now here is a curious fanomenon: Altho no subscriber rcvd a copy of Vom for a year, and it seemd to be clear that publication had ceast, not a soul askt for a cent back! What does this indicate--that Vom's readers have no souls? They certainly have no cents! But, facetiousness aside, I don't know whether to feel insulted at the implication that I am a petty thief, or just ashamed of fan publishers at large. Have my predecessors set such precedents that the victims of folding fanmags merely mentally shrug their shoulders and say, "Well, there's more money gone to Limbo"? Has it come to be the common, expected thing that money invested in a fanmag is a gamble and will not be returnd if the publication quits? Well, it's not that way with me, folks, every outstanding penny will be returnd, in cash if U wish it. In the following space, if my records show any money due U, U will find the amount recorded:____. On this & the following page U'll find bks I have for sale. U may wish to apply your credit to the purchase of one of them. Or, I have back issues of Vom to offer. First price is the regular price to someone picking up this magazine for the first (and last) time. If U have any credit, the parenthetical price is what your credit is worth to U as a previous supporter of Vom. Is that statement ambiguous? Now that I think about it, I think maybe it is. What I mean is, if a number is priced 50c (35c) and U have 35c coming to U, U may have the issue for the reduced rate. If I don't hear from U by the middle of August, I'll return your money to U. I am sending a few other of the letters I had on hand to Henry Elsner Jr. He may be able to salvage some of them. Watch this publisher for a publication somewhat similar to Vom. His address: 13618 Cedar Grove, Detroit 5, Mich. And that's "30" from 4e. ----------------------- VOM ESTAS MORTA, LONGE VIVU LA MEMORON DE VOM!
