ASTOUNDING SCIENCE FICTION

SIR,—In reference to the interesting article, " Five Types of Science Fiction," may we point out that John W. Campbell, Jnr., is editor of Astounding Science Fiction, and the correct spelling of the name of the father of science fiction is Hugo Gernsback ?—Yours faithfully,
