There are tantalizing hints here and there of letters Howard sent and people he corresponded with for which we have no known concrete evidence. Robert Locke is one such correspondent: leogrin.com/CimmerianBlog/uncollected-letter-in-a-locke-box/The Howard letter mentioned in the link is one I dearly wish would turn up. |

Thanks for the link Deuce.
Very Interesting, especially considering that the P. Schuyler Miller correspondence was probably around the same time .
It is seldom that one writer will become enthralled by a fellow scribe’s creation. Yet Conan, the character created by Robert E. Howard, so captured my imagination that shortly before his untimely death, I wrote a letter to him expressing my admiration. The letter which Mr. Howard wrote me is one of my most prized possessions. In it he stated his appreciation for my interest and promised that he would write many more stories, carrying Conan through the mythical countries of Khitai, Khosala, Brythunia, Corinthia, etc. . . Robert Locke, of Kansas City (Eyrie section of the February 1937 Weird Tales)
