The Selected Letters of Clark Ashton Smith (Arkham House) includes 33 pieces. Not sure how many were included in
Clark Ashton Smith: Letters to H. P. Lovecraft (Necronomicon Press), for I sold my copy (sometimes I regret that, because it had a few playful CAS illustrations not included in the Arkham House volume).

ORDERED! It was not out of stock,
yet! Haha!
Missing out on this volume, could actually be, I am afraid, one of the great losses of my life. Reading Lovecraft's letters through the years, has been equal to having a great friendship. Here he is paired up in conversation with his unequaled literary peer, the one and only, the
great, weird fiction and cosmic artist, Clark Ashton Smith! It should lead to invaluable, frank, and inspired discussions about our favorite subjects: literature and fantastic imagination. And since they are on similar levels of intelligence, there is no room for pretension, mentally unfocused relaxation, or patronizing adaptations of conversation. Each must give everything of his intellectual honesty, or fall out.
