WATTS “2722 Cleinview Avenue, East Walnut Hills, “Cincinnati, Ohio, June 19, 1918. “My dear Mr. Overton: “I have here a letter from Mr. Latham of Macmillans with a very complimentary request from you for data regarding myself. There really is not much to say about me as a person. The trade of writing has been pursued--in times past, at least--by so many picturesque people in so picturesque a fashion that the rest of the world has got into the habit of thinking an author must of necessity be picturesque; but such is not my case, rather to my regret whenever anybody displays this kind and gratifying curiosity about me. One would dearly love to be a slap-dash, swashbuckling sort of person like Borrow, say; or a sick, fiery, indomitable R. L. S. Then there would be something to write about. As it is, I am only an inconspicuous gentlewoman--I hope a gentlewoman anyway!--with a more or less Victorian style of writing which has frequently proved a profound puzzle to critics of a younger generation.
