BLUNT
(Wilfrid Jasper Walter, 1901-1987, Art Teacher, Author, Artist and Curator of the Watts Gallery)
Long Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Gwynne Hughes
thanking him for his letter and saying that it is "always a great pleasure to hear that what one has written has been enjoyed. I've just finished a biography of old Sir Sydney Cockerell ... he always made a point of telling authors, actors, musicians etc. of performances enjoyed, & I've ample evidence among his papers of the pleasure he gave. Yes, I've known the Balder Bookshop for many years now, & have spent happy hours among its shelves; that was when I was living ... at Ham, but now, alas, I am seldom in its neighbourhood. I've two other books 'on the stocks' - another flower book (to be called Poppycock) & a book on Persia. Neither will be ready for a long time yet, but I'm miserable when I haven't several projects in varying stages of development ...", 2 sides 8vo., The Curator's House, Watts Gallery, nr Guildford, 17th March
