In response to the letter by Waiter Williams wanting to read more fictional stuff in the Post, and not worrying about his health: What sane person would not be concerned about their health? If he wants to read fictional stuff, let him go to the library. Do not change anything about the Post. I read the SatEvePost for the excellent health articles it contains, because so many of us are concerned about our health. Keep the SatEvePost as is.

I am in total agreement with the suggestion/complaint of Mr. Walter F. Williams in your latest issue of TSEP Letters. I, too, would like to see less medical articles and more stories, preferably fictional.
In 1943 I was a patient in hospital for a lengthy time, A thoughtful friend brought me a number of back copies of The Saturday Evening Post. Fortunately, one of them contained the first chapters of a continued story titled Fair Stood the Wind for France. My friend brought me enough magazines that I even had the thrill of reading the very last chapter.
How I enjoyed that wonderful, wonderful story. Would that your magazine would resume such a format.

I applaud your decision to turn the Post into a health and fitness magazine. Too many magazines give questionable information.
However, the connotation of your 1920s and Norman Rockwell-style Depression-era covers detracts from that contemporary image.
