The second newsletter which is remarkably called Summer 2024, but not sent out until late October has a lot of good content.
The newsletter contains the second draft (typescript) of “The Frost-Giant’s Daughter.” It also contains the typescript of “The Beast from the Abyss” and a letter written to his friend Tevis Clyde Smith on June 23, 1926, containing many poems. At the end, there is more news from Howard Days featuring “The Boxing Glove Mystery” written by Bill Cavalier and with a supplement by Rob Roehm.
