TheNovember issue will be dedicated to Clark Ashton Smith, December toEdgar Allan Poe, (in this issue Mr. Lovecraft's article deals entirelywith Poe and is the longest one yet) and the January number to WeirdPoetry. Schedule subject to change without notice. Let us know what youthink of these dedications, and submit your vote telling who or whatyou want the following issues to be dedicated to.
This issue has gone to press before reports have come in on theSeptember number, which boasted the smooth paper cover, so all lettersrefer to the August or previous issues.
"Read the new TFF yesterday with great interest and pleasure. Thesketches by Barlow and Morse are very notable. Let us hope that thesuccess of volume one will be brilliantly duplicated in 1934-5."—H. P.Lovecraft, Providence, R.I.
"Congratulations on your successful piloting of TFF through the firstyear of its existence!

I sincerely hope that you will soonbe able to realize your hopes of expansion."—Richard F. Searight,Detroit, Mich.

"Great is the August issue of TFF! I enjoyed immensely the splendidtale 'Ebony and Ash,' by Richard Ely Morse. Let's have many more finestories by this new talented author. I enjoyed very much, too, theexcellent poems, 'Necromancy' and 'The Unremembered Realm.' These twopoems were certainly the product of masters of the art. 'The Annals ofthe Jinns' was also very good, as was the entire issue. I shall nevergrow tired of reading such a grand issue! Enclosed find ten cents foran additional copy."—Fred John Walsen, Denver, Col.
"Just a line to let you know how much I enjoyed the August TFF.R. H. Barlow scores again with his story 'The Fall of the Three Cities'and the one by Richard Ely Morse was splendid.

"Enclosed you will find a dollar for another year's subscription to ourgreat little magazine, TFF. Allow me to congratulate you for keepingit alive, even at a financial loss to yourself, for the interestsof the weirdfan. The outstanding features of the more recent issuesare Kenneth B. Pritchard's 'True Experiences.' I imagine that thelate Charles Fort would have liked to interview him."—Bob Tucker,Bloomington, Ill.
"Your August number is well up to average. The Morse story waswell-written and interesting; and the two poems really quite good."—R.H. Barlow, De Land, Fla.

Let's hope the daysoon arrives when you will be able to do so. An occasional notice byWright would no doubt work wonders. I was glad to see that Petaja
