preservation. Whether he succeeded in conquering a world-wide empire, or perished in the attempt, I do not know. He travelled widely, not only before his kingship, but after he was king. He travelled to Khitai and Hyrkania, and to the even less known regions north of the latter and south of the former. He even visited a nameless continent in the western hemisphere, and roamed among the islands adjacent to it. How much of this roaming will get into print, I can not foretell with any accuracy. I was much interested in your remarks concerning findings on the Yamal Peninsula, the first time I had heard anything about that. Doubtless Conan had first-hand acquaintance with the people who evolved the culture described, or their ancestors, at least. Hope you find “The Hyborian Age” interesting. I’m enclosing a copy of the original map. Yes, Napoli’s done very well with Conan, though at times he seems to give him a sort of Latin cast of the countenance which isn’t according to type, as I conceive it. However, that isn’t enough to kick about. Hope the enclosed data answers your questions satisfactorily; I’d be delighted to discuss any other phases you might wish, or go into more details about any point of Conan’s career or Hyborian history or geography you might desire. Thanks again for your interest, and best wishes, for yourself and Dr. Clark. Cordially, P.S. You didn’t mention whether you wanted the map and chronology returned, so I’m taking the liberty of retaining them to show to some friends; if you want them back, please let me know. Letter to P.
