Witchcraft & Sorcery Volume 1 Number 5. Prior to this issue, it was published by Camelot Publishing Company as Coven 13. The company was bought by Fantasy Publishing Company and the name was changed to Witchcraft & Sorcery.
This issue contains MISTRESS OF DEATH. Featuring Agnes de Chastillon. This is the only Dark Agnes story to include a fantasy element, in the form of a sorcerer. It is not written to the same standard as the two stories Howard completed, and features some departures from the established character, making her more stereotypically feminine. The story was not finished by Howard and he wrote two drafts. The story in this issue is based on the second unfinished draft and completed by Gerald W. Page.

This letter appeared on eBay early in November 2022 and is so far unknown, that is it is not published in any of the Collected Letters. It appears to be original and signed by Howard. According to scholar Patrice Louinet it looks perfectly legit. The Talman letters are privately owned. The punch holes come from the fact that Talman kept the letters in a binder. Patrice says the signature and typewriting are the real deal. The seller claims that his client bought these letters from L. W. Curry approximately around 2007 and owns several more. Only this was put up for sale.
In the letter Howard thanks Talman for sending him a letter regarding contributions to Talman’s paper. It was Lovecraft who introduced them and gave Howard’s address to Talman (and also Talman’s to Howard).
