Henry Paget-Lowe.Description and Transcription by Henry Paget-Lowe (Juha-Matti Rajala):[the card description reads:] The Napoleon Bonaparte House, situated in the heart of New Orleans’ famous Vieux Carre or French Quarter, is located at the corner of St. Louis and Chartres Streets. This building was erected with the idea of providing quarters of refuge for Napoleon Bonaparte after the bold plot in which the story says the noted LaFitte band of pirates were involved to kidnap him from exile in St. Helena and bring him to New Orleans. The plot failed because Napoleon died before it could be executed.[transcription:]Keep me posted on your programme. Around July 1st & afterward I may be in N.Y. City attending a convention, but I guess we can make the chronology & geography come out all right with a little care. Congratulations on your current work! By the way—why bother about copying The Silver Key? The carbon is all corrected & it would be easy to switch it to Wright from its present rounds. He knows us well enough not to insist on ceremony. No—I haven’t heard anything about payments delayed by the bank holiday . . . . tho’ nearly everyone complains of delay of some sort. Just had a circular from the Am. Fiction Guild (to which I do not belong) with considerable data about the recent Clayton difficulties. ¶ Glad your toil is reasonably punctuated by diversions—but I haven’t yet figured out where Wantagh is. Your bulletin, though, informs me that it has a beach. I’ll start a new search along the seacoast! ¶ My aunt is now getting settled at #66, & the place is beginning to look ineffably homelike. You must have a look at it! Weather gloriously warm for the past five days, (90º yesterday) so I’ve been unusually active. Have taken several rural walks up to 15 miles in length. ¶ New W.T. isn’t bad. Klarkash-Ton’s “Genius Loci” is a high spot. ¶ Well—keep up the [bulletins]!Peace of the Prophet—[signature][in margin:] The appearance of my “Shunned House” as a small book is now imminent."I may be in N.Y. City": because of the N.A.P.A. convention of July 3-5, 1933; in the event he did not attend it."circular from the Am. Fiction Guild": probably arranged by Hugh B. Cave who had urged HPL to join the organisation."Shunned House": Walter J. Coates was for a time planning to bind W. Paul Cook’s unissued edition.See and hear more Lovecraftian Items at the sister sites to these Flickr collections at:cthulhuwho1.comandwww.youtube.com/user/CthulhuWho1 |
