In one of these anthologies was a short story, by Lin Carter I believe (or possibly L. Sprague de Camp), in which two sorcerers exchange letters. I cannot remember the title of the story either, or which anthology it was (I lean toward one of the Carters, or Carrs, or even the McCaffrey). Anyway, it was the inspiration for an effort between John and me to write a series of short stories in the form of letters between two wizards, John Craft and Scramasax. A few of these tales survive.
