Lettre du 2 novembre 1936 de H.P. Lovecraft à Mrs. Fritz Leiber (Jonquil Stephens) :
66 College St.
Providence, R. I.
Nov. 2, 1936
My dear Mrs. Leiber:
Your enquiry of Oct. 14, after some extremely devious wanderings, has reached me at last;
and I must hasten to say how gratified I am to hear of the kind opinion of my fictional
efforts held by you and your husband. My pleasure is the greater because of the admiration
and appreciation with which I have always regarded the work of your father-in-law. In the
earlier years of the century I saw him many times in Mr. Robert Mantell's companies —
in parts like Horatio, Iago, Mercutio, Bassanio, Edmund, and Faulconbridge — and
delighted in his happy blending of classic traditionalism with the more refined and
modulated technique of the present. His Faulconbridge was to me especially
unforgettable . . . . .
Sincerely yours,
H. P. Lovecraft
