Letter from August Derleth to Francis T. Laney, July 30, 1943.
".... There's no reason why the BATTLE THAT ENDED THE CENTURY should not be reprinted. I believe that HPL did have a hand in it, regardless of his denials."

Letter from Clark Ashton Smith to Duane W. Rimel, September 13, 1934.
"I enjoyed hugely the MS. Found in a Time-Machine, and think that there is no doubt whatever about the authorship. HPL may, however, have been assisted a little in this lucubration by the fertile brain of R. H. Barlow. The names were a positive scream..."
Letter from H. P. Lovecraft to Duane W. Rimel, August 10, 1934.
"As for that recent spoof in weird & science fiction circles, I was amused to note how many have attributed it to me... despite the fact that it is scarcely the sort of thing a staid old-timer would be likely to start. Especially since the Eastern recipients say it came long before I passed through Washington. I found a copy when I got home, & was considerably amused by it. If you'll look more closely, you'll see that I was not left out -- since "Horse-Power Hateart" can scarcely refer to anyone
