Introduction
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.
