I don't know if this has been published here before a-Paul-ogies if so. A letter from Uncle Forry at age 14 to Edgar Rice Burroughs...how priceless is this.

Wow!

I don't know which was better: Forry's rather erudite (for a 14 year old) letter to Burroughs, or ERB's brilliant reply. That was truly a meeting of kindred minds.

Thanks for sharing it.

Packy, thanks for posting this! My brother is a *huge* ERB fan.

I love how Forry referenced my favorite ERB story, At The Earth's Core. I hope his teacher lived long enough to see Burroughs books obtain the status of CLASSIC they're considered now.
