A typed letter from William S. Burroughs to author F. Paul Wilson dated 26 October 1993 asking him about his book Reprisal, recognizing similarities between himself and the character Glaeken.

This includes the envelope from William S. Burroughs Communications, addressed to Wilson, ℅ Jove Books (NYC).

From the Wikipedia article here, a description of Glaeken: "The Ally once had a corresponding champion dubbed the Sentinel—a warrior known as Glaeken. Soon after Rasalom was empowered, Glaeken was given a magical sword that strengthened and healed him while weakening and harming agents of the Otherness. Thus empowered, he was directed to lead the Yeniçeri—orphaned children raised to fight in the Ally's cause—against Rasalom. At some point more than 1000 years ago, Glaeken became estranged from the Yeniçeri and left them to their own devices."
