IMPORTANT LETTER FROM LOVECRAFT TO SMITH
226. Lovecraft, H.P. 2 pp., 82-line A.L.s. to Clark Ashton Smith, in original hand-addressed envelope. Providence, RI: Feb. 26, 1932. A wonderful letter, filled with references to the supernatural and his and Smith's writings: "Your praise of `Innsmouth' [The Shadow Over Innsmouth, 1936, Lovecraft's first book] is highly encouraging, & I hope it will strike young Melmoth favourably as well. As I said before, I am carefully filing all opinions, & may some day try to dress the old hulk up a little. Meanwhile - & since dropping you my precious line - I have ground out another tale, `The Dreams of Walter Gilman,' [Dreams in the Witch House, 1937 issue of `Weird Tales'] which combines the witch-cult & fourth dimensional motifs...." In reference to Smith's tale, "Uther Magbane" [later The Second Interment, 1933, in `Strange Tales'], Lovecraft advises: "The only basic trouble with premature burial tales is that they do not take into account the universal practice of embalming. The way to get around that, of course, would be to provide very particular reasons why embalming is dispensed with in the given case. In your story the fact that the victim fears a deceptive catalepsy is reason enough in the second burial, though you might suggest a special reason for non-embalming at the first burial." Signed by Lovecraft at the botton "Ech-Pi-El", & on the verso of envelope with return address. The letter was only partially reproduced in Arkham House Selected Letters IV, letter #371. Fine condition - a unique and magnificent letter. (700/1000).
