Trust the article will reach you safely, & that you'll find it interesting. Let us know if any of the interpolated paragraphs on the margin are hard to decipher. I'll be glad to give the proofs a reading when the five comes, if that would be conveninet to you.

Shall be very glad to see second issue.

Just read the first issue of Astounding. Not so bad for pulp stuff. but essentially mediocre from a literary point of view.

Best Wishes -
