This letter appeared on eBay for sale around April 2023 and is a known letter. It appears to be original and signed by Howard. It’s part of a collection and according to scholar Patrice Louinet the previous unknown letter looked perfectly legit. The Talman letters are privately owned. The punch holes come from the fact that Talman kept the letters in a binder. The seller claims that his client bought these letters from L. W. Curry approximately around 2007 and owns several more. The seller also claims to have sold 2 letters in the last 6 months (I’m writing this 14th of April, 2023).
In the letter Howard thanks Talman for sending a letter to Street & Smith. Howard tells Talman a lot of his life, growing up in West Texas.
