Letter from S.R. Crockett to Mr. Keary

LETTER

S.R. Crockett

Glad Keary liked tale which is almost true with characters and places changed; very characteristic of hard, dour Galloway country full of family love; gives permission for changes and leaving out Keary's name though disappointed as meant as personal tribute; approves proof; expresses warm friendship; mentions Maisie now home from college correcting proofs; recalls cycling with her as child on front wheel; expresses father's dread of day when Somebody with big S comes along for maiden daughters
