	[[Doctor Bartlett]] receives a [http://~~unboundbook~~.~~org/wiki~~/images/b/bc/12_Wilfred_Grestys_First_Letter.pdf letter] from someone called [[Gresty]]. In the letter, Gresty claims to have been a part of the same group as [[Alexander Roby]], [[Lawrence Bacon]], [[Malcolm Quarrie]], [[Edwards]] and [[Coombes]], and that the group has split up. He also asks their assistance in dealing with Bacon, who he says will go out on the night of the full moon (November 27th). Gresty says that he will prevent Coombes from being present, and that this will make Bacon easier to handle.

	The private detective Walsh contacts [[Withers]] about [[Edwards]] and [[Lawrence Bacon]]. Edwards has long gone from the last known address, leaving no trace.

	[[Nathaniel Browne]] visits [[Talbot Estus]] to return ‘[[Le Roi en Jeune]]’. [[Michael Gillen]] seems to have moved out, and Estus is dishevelled and his apartment is a mess. He has been struggling to make any headway at all on his novel and seems unwell. A passionate discussion on [[The King in Yellow]] ensues, and Browne lends Estus his copy of ‘[[der Wanderer durch den See]]’. Putting two and two together regarding Estus' apparent astrophobia and his own reactions to [[the Springer Mound Monsters]], Browne asks ~~wheteher~~ Estus has seen a similar creature. Estus reveals a dream he has had, of [[Cassilda]]’s palace surrounded by flocks of black flying creatures similar to [[the Springer Mound Monsters]].

	Concerned, Browne calls [[Bartlett]], reporting that he is very disturbed by Estus' behaviour and fears that he may be a danger to himself or others. The pair arrange to meet at Estus's apartment building. Arriving first, Browne attempts to gain a response from within, but none is forthcoming. Barlett arrives and the two attempt to force entry. While attempting to break down the door (during which Browne re-injures his ankle), a neighbour arrives. He has a spare key and lets them in. Estus is found hanging in his study, an apparent suicide.
