Hoffmann Price; on "Vergama" ("The Last Hieroglyph") and the Zothique series; on Barlow's plan to make phonograph records of himself and Lovecraft; on weird material in The Overland Monthly (Wandrei's article on Smith, Smith's article on George Sterling, and "The Abominations of Yondo"); a bit of fun regarding Walpurgis Eve; thanks for the snapshot, and commiseration on their eyes (with notes on Smith's drawings for Weird Tales and going to the movies); on Barlow's drawings of Nushain and the salamander; mention of the Mass of St. Secaire.
