"THERE NEVER WAS SUCH A FISH - OR SUCH A FISHERMAN ..."
BAX
(Clifford, 1886-1962, Playwright and Author)
Autograph Letter Signed to 'My dear Roughie'

I shall maintain until I die that there never was such a fish & such a fisherman ...", 1 side 8vo., G2 Albany, Piccadilly, W.1., 21st June, dated in another hand
