- Pencilled Title: The title is pencilled at the top of the manuscript. (witness level)
- Possible Author Handwriting: The spreadsheet compiler says the pencilled title looks like Robert E. Howard's handwriting. That attribution is preserved only at the source's level of certainty. (witness level) · Probable
- Pencil Annotations: The source records numerous pencilled notes throughout the manuscript. (witness level)
