"Gentlemen:
"Congratulations on the articles by Mr. Borneman. To my mind they are the soundest and most enlightening articles of jazz criticism ever. They do two things: They place jazz in a proper perspective, and they lead to a constructive attitude. The best previous writings in this line have done one or the other, but not as incisively and certainly not both at once.
"The many articles you have carried which have dealt with personaliites and atmosphere have been good reading, yes, but I think now you've got into something better, — you've made a strike." — Art Feher, Cleveland. Ohio.

Irv. Jacobs of Jamaica, N. Y., writes: "In the August 1943 issue of the Record Changer Frank Holland submitted a list of 47 Whiteman records, supposedly the only Victor and Columbia records featuring Bix Beiderbecke. I have just bought a copy of Victor 21302 by the Rhythm Boys which features piano accompaniment on one side and violin, ukulele and piano on the other. Will Mr. Holland please point out where Bix can be heard on this record?"
Tom Henry (Cleveland) says his piano discography is progressing slowly, but that he sees the end of the job presently. "Cow Cow Davenport who is playing here has been helpful in straightening out several of my questions. I received a long letter from Albert McCarthy of Jazz Music in which he enclosed a most complete Davenport discography. However, I would like information on the following:
1. Serial number and reverse side of Sam Theard's I'll Be Glad When You're Dead on Brunswick.
2. Master numbers on Dora Carr's Fifth Street Blues, OK 8284; Alabama Mistreater, OK 8306; He Don't Mean No Harm, OK 8244. Iva Smith's Rising Sun Blues, Para 12436. Cow Cow Davenport's Jim Crow Blues, Para 12439.
3. All information possible on Will & Lil Brown's Black Patti record.
4. Has a Gennet record been issued of Charlie Davenport's Kokomo Blues?
"Davenport has been writing a story of his life and has left the papers for me to look over. It has possibilities."
Stewart & Bates of Camp Hill, Pa., who advertised Leonard Feather's All Stars Mop Mop /My Ideal (played once) CMS 548, for sale at 10c in the June Record Changer, complain that as yet they have had no offers for the record. Now come on, boys, — let's all support our advertisers, — won't somebody please buy Stewart and Bates' Leonard Feather record?
