Howard wrote H.P.Lovecraft on 14 Aug 1936:
"P.S. I am mailing you a copy of an essay written by Robert at the age of
17 when he finished high school. The newspaper in which it was published was
old, had become faded and rotten and in order to preserve this essay it become
[sic] necessary to reprint it so I had a number of sheets printed and am
sending you one."
|
It could be argued that this was the
first official Howard publication under his own name.
|
It is not known how many copies were printed,
but it was probably a few dozen copies at most.
As far as Patrice knows, no copy survives other than the one shown which
was sent to him as a gift from a descendant of the family.
