Yes, it would, though I doubt there's enough extant to actually make
any convincing conclusions.

Even if Lovecraft actually participated in the "secret vice."

David Durand  - the John Hay Library in your neck of the woods has the
largest collection of Lovecraft manuscripts anywhere....  Any
interest? Or maybe you can get me in if I come up to Providence? My
Brown ID is long-since defunct :-)

Hmmm. Another damn task - scan through Lovecraft for all attested
conlang statements. :-)
