Famed master of horror-telling, August Derleth signs a lengthy typed letter with considerable content on just-published short stories in the fantasy-horror genre. Signed ''August'' in heavy blue wax pencil, the 22 year-old writes to horror author Clark Ashton Smith from Sauk City, Wisconsin on 14 July 1932: ''...The new S.T. [Strange Tales] has just come out, and I have thus far found it bitterly disappointing, with The Hunters from Beyond best thus far - and the Hunters as you know is not one of my particularly favourite Smith yarns...Whitehead's story was putrid...Meyrink's BAL MACABRE is a hodge-podge...Long's tale is pretty bad...I...finished COLONEL MARKESAN...I have yet to finish THE CARVEN IMAGE...'' Derleth would publish his friend Smith's work under his imprint a decade later. 1pp. on thin green paper measures 8.5'' x 11''. Creasing and mild toning to top edge, else near fine.
