AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED to Clark Ashton Smith ["Dear Klarkash-Ton"]. Quarto, 4 pages on both sides of 2 sheets, not dated, signed "Ech-Pi-El."
Dated "Summer 1934" at top of first page in Smith's hand, but the letter's content indicates it was written in 1933, sometime between 6 July and 18 July. As might be expected, the main topic of this wholly unpublished letter is literary work by both Smith and Lovecraft. Lovecraft praises Smith's short stories, especially "The Colossus of Ylourgne" which he has just read in manuscript (the story was first published in the June 1934 issue of WEIRD TALES) and Smith's recently self-published first collection of short fiction, THE DOUBLE SHADOW. Lovecraft is very excited about the July issue of WEIRD TALES that includes stories by both of them: "Incidentally, these two tales {Lovecraft's "Dreams in the Witch House" and Smith's "Ubbo-Sathla"] plus the 'Athammaus' (?) thing give our synthetic folklore the biggest simultaneous mass presentation it has yet received. When a reader finishes this issue, he'll be about ready to ask Dauber & Pine to find him a copy of the 'Book of Eibon!' I've had three new inquiries about the reality of the 'Necronomicon,' &c." Other topics include the literary promise of Lovecraft's friend Carl Ferdinand Stauch, distribution of a flyer advertising Smith's books, a booklet about Providence, RI, with a picture of 66 College Street that was lost in the mail, misprints in Lovecraft's "Dreams in the Witch House" just published in WEIRD TALES, Lovecraft's and Smith's imaginary entities, Lovecraft's hope that his rejected stories might be published in a projected new magazine, THE FANTASY FAN, Helen Sully's pending arrival in Providence, Lovecraft's travel plans, and a visit from E. Hoffmann Price which included a tour by automobile of Rhode Island's Narragansett Country for which Lovecraft provides an enthusiastic travelogue with details on the rich colonial architecture of the region. A fine letter with excellent content.
