the number of pages I passed. I like your policy of having several illustrations for the cover story. I sincerely hope that you maintain this policy, especially if the stories are illustrated by the incomparable Finlay."
After Midnight
George C. Bowring writes from Los Angeles: "It is now after midnight. The February Weird Tales came to hand today, so I dug up the previous three issues and spent a most satisfactory evening reading I Found Cleopatra. Not since the last Merritt story have I enjoyed a tale quite so much. Kelley handles the weird parts of his story with admirable restraint."
Hours of Enjoyment
Joseph Gaviani writes from Roxbury, Massachusetts: "First place in the March WT belongs to Mr. Derleth's The Return of Hastur, the only really weird story in the issue. Mr. Quinn's horror-tale takes second place, followed by Mr. Rimel's interplanetary story The Metal Chamber. Returning to the question of reprints, I notice it is some months since you used an HPL story. I am one of the many who were unfortimate enough to miss Mr. Lovecraft's The Rats in the Walls, and The Outsider. You can earn our undying gratitude by reprinting one of these in the near future. Accept my thanks for the many hours of enjoyment your choice of stories has provided me with, and my hope that we may have many more weird tales that live up to the name."
Greatest on Earth
Archie H. Lucas writes from Leesburg, Virginia: "I have been a constant reader of Weird Tales for five years and I think it just about the greatest on earth. I especially enjoy the stories by Seabury Quinn and Clark Ashton Smith. So enthusiastic has been my interest in Weird Tales that four of my friends have become regular purchasers of your magazine, influenced by my praise of your stories."
