Mr. Dannay says that he does not know which author first used hypnosis as an integral part of a story, and he cannot be of help with the book Cops And Robbers by O. Henry as "we have no copies left." He further advises that all matters involving money orders and subscription requests will be forwarded to the New York Office. Signed "Sincerely, Frederic Dannay."
