The seller (epegana) states:
Description:
"UNDERSTANDING"
ORIGINAL TYPED MANUSCRIPT SIGNED BY SAMUEL LOVEMAN & INSCRIBED "FOR CLARK" ASHTON SMITH
Samuel Loveman was a noted poet and friend to Ambrose Bierce, H. P. Lovecraft, and Clark Ashton Smith. It was Loveman who first introduced Howard Phillips Lovecraft to fellow poet Clark Ashton Smith in 1922. This typed manuscript I offer is in Sonnet format and entitled "Understanding", published in his book "The Hermaphrodite". Loveman dedicated the poem to Clark Ashton Smith as evidenced by the manuscript, although when published the dedicatee was not noted.
The manuscript is signed in full "Samuel Loveman" and other than folded for mailing is in good to very good condition.

Totally Off-Topic: Is HPL's copy of the sci-fi novel DELUGE listed in Lovecraft's Library? I have what I think is that book, but I don't find an email address to send a scan to show you. Maybe this is old news, but I've had the book for close to 20 years so maybe it's not listed. Alas, a subsequent (idiot) owner to Lovecraft crossed out HPL's autograph name on the flyleaf in ballpoint pen and wrote his own (which explains how I was able afford it, so I'm not turning my nose up at it either).
