The Very Old Folk
With this story, or rather letter excerpt, there is a problem: there are two source texts, both of which I deem equally reliable, although obviously both can't be right. One is the text as reproduced in Miscellaneous Writings, the other is the text as reproduced in the collection of Lovecraft & Donald Wandrei's correspondence, Mysteries of Time and Spirit. In all cases below where I have put two asterisks, Mysteries of Time and Spirit differs from Miscellaneous Writings.
