Condizione: Very good. San Francisco, California, February 5, 1966., 1966. Very good. - Over 90 words typed on a 3-1/4 inch high by 5-1/2 inch wide postcard. Emil Pataja thanks Reginald Bretnor "for 'through t and s with FF'. It's a ball and isn't there some way of twisting GB's wrist and getting more, more, more? FASF just isn't the same without him."
