Among other things, you might want to get a copy of Kenneth Faig's The Unknown Lovecraft, which has two very informative pieces on Barlow, as well as E. Hoffmann Price's Book of the Dead. There is some material which may prove of help in the Arkham volume of CAS's letters (e.g., pp. 323-25), though this may be a bit too general for your needs....
