And he has a beautiful study of a cactus, too, so try to see them. They are in the Welsh exhibition all this month, I think”, with other family news, the second begins, “Thank you very much for your letter. It came as something of a reproach to me, as I had meant to send you a copy of my book. What is it that deters one in these good intentions? Partly, perhaps, the feeling that a friend ought not to be put in the embarrassing position of having to reply. That is particularly so with books of poetry as tastes differ very widely, and the first review of this book that I read was so terribly scathing that I thought several of my friends would blush. (I didn”t)”, and with further family news and a mention of an Alfred Jones exhibition from which Watkins bought a picture (“Two herrings”), each 4 pp., 8vo, plus a typed copy of Watkins’s poem “Ballad of the rough sea”, 2 pp., signed at end “Vernon Watkins”, folio (5)
