On the back Jackson has written "Silas N'Kwane" in ink pen.

Handbill:

A handbill inserted into the second volume of Andrew Dickson White's A History of the Warfare of Science with the Theology of Christendom, marking the beginning of Chapter XIV "From Fetich to Heigene". The handbill reads:

"Tonight Only"
The Cult of Darkness In Polynesia and the Southwest Pacific
A two-hour lecture with slides delivered by Professor Anthony Cowles Ph.D.
Of the University of Sydney (Australia) and presently Locksley Fellow of Polynesian Esoterica at Miskatonic University
Schulyer Hall, NYU
"Tonight Only"

Letter:

Finally a small letter has been stuffed into the pocket of the cultist killed by Mister Caine, adressed to Mister Elias via his publishers at Prospero House and dated November 7, 1924.

Dear Mr. Elias,
I fear the book about which you enquired is no longer in our collection. The information you seek may be found in other volumes. If you contact me upon your arrival, I will be most happy to provide further assistance.

As Always, Miriam Atwright.

Symbol:

The final clue as to what may have happened here is a symbol, carved into the forehead of Jackson Elias as if by one of the knives.
