Summary:

Gold discusses Tiffany Thayer and the Fortean Society; discusses plans for EFR to provide the storylines for a science fiction radio show; mentions EFR's military career; discusses plans for Galaxy, a magazine which he describes as along the lines of Unknown; says that has bought the reprint rights to EFR's novel Sinister Barrier, apparently to EFR's surprise; Gold explains plans for foreign editions of Galaxy, and asks EFR for information about the English market; Gold also suggests a plot for a story, involving a blind character who can "see” in the fourth dimension; he turns down a short story by EFR entitled Gravy Grab, because of its "weary theme”; Gold responds to EFR's criticisms of the pocketbook deal for Sinister Barrier, which is evidently putting a strain on their friendship; and Gold describes Street & Smith's campaign against Galaxy, and his personal clashes (and their eventual resolution) with John Campbell.
