Dated 1 May, 1936, one page, signed "Jacobi". On Jacobi's pictorial 
letterhead depicting a sorcerer in his lair. Addressed "Dear Friend 
Smith", Jacobi thanks him for supplying the name of a lawyer to 
collect funds owed him by Hugo Gernsback. Jacobi discusses his tale 
"The Face in the Mirror" in the current issue of Weird Tales magazine 
(the tale appeared in the April, 1936 issue) and how Farnsworth 
Wright seems hesitant to buy more stories f r o m him. He goes on to 
discuss other markets for his stories, including Macleans magazine 
and The Toronto Star; Leo Margulies' new editorship of Wonder 
Stories, and relocating his workshop on Lake Minnewashta... "I'm 
using kerosine lamps not yet ha vi ng the place wired... I plan to go 
out there one or two days each week when I feel I need seclusion".
