Editorial Secretary.

My dear Sir,

We who Read seldom or
never pay our debts to You who Write. Yet
it's a big debt we owe you! Let me at
least acknowledge my debt to you!

I have been living two days with
your delightful Tales & Fancies ("The Moon
Endureth"), & I cannot resist saying
"Thank you" - simply from pure gratitude.
You have the Celtic gift & glamour.
You can put a soul into a wisp of
mist. I can feel the soul & I love the
wisp: And alas I can't encage the
soul as you can. But I know because
I can appreciate that I am a potential
John Buchan - who will never write!

So long may your fairy fountain
(pen) play & work to delight & teach us the
art of living & of seeing.

You make another appeal to me
