Hamilton asks if EFR would write something for his magazine Nebula Science Fiction; Hamilton goes on to thank EFR for his short stories This One's On Me and Sustained Pressure; Hamilton, thanks EFR for contributing a story [not named] to the magazine, and apologizes for printing errors; describes problems with Nebula's distribution; says that although he would not normally include science fiction stories with a detective angle in the magazine, he will publish EFR's novelette Fly away Peter, because he is short of material; mentions that EFR's novelettes Sustained Pressure and Fly away Peter have been extremely popular with Nebula readers; buys the British rights to EFR's short story Boomerang; Hamilton thanks EFR for sending a photograph of himself; says that will publish EFR's short story Down, Rover, Down if EFR rewrites the last few pages to stress the anti-war message, which EFR however apparently believes would reduce the story's entertainment value; says that he will publish EFR's short story Storm Warning but returns a story called The Dreamer [possibly written under the pseudonym J M Fox] because of its disappointing finale; offers his explanation why EFR's short story This One's On Me was not as popular with Nebula readers; asks about acquiring first British serial rights to EFR's novelette Somewhere A Voice; explains why he cut "anti-Christian” passages from Storm Warning; reports that he has received an offer for Argentian reprint rights to Boomerang; Hamilton thanks EFR for an autographed copy of EFR's book Great World Mysteries; and he buys the British serial rights to EFR's novelette Dear Devil and the short stories P.S. and Bitter End.
