Undernews: HL Mencken on editing
25 January, 1936
San Fransisco, California
Dear Saroyan,
I note what you say about your aspiration to edit a magazine. I am sending you by this mail a six-chambered revolver. Load it and fire every one into your head. You will thank me after you get to hell and learn from other editors there how dreadful their job was on earth.
(Signed, 'H.L. Mencken')
