Dedication to E. S. P. Haynes
My Dear Haynes,
By dedicating this book to you, I believe it is my privilege to introduce you and Borrow. This were sufficient reason for the dedication. The many better reasons are beyond my eloquence, much though I have remembered them this winter, listening to the storms of Caermarthen Bay, the screams of pigs, and the street tunes of “Fall in and follow me,” “Yip-i-addy,” and “The first good joy that Mary had.”
Yours,
EDWARD THOMAS.
Laugharne,
Caermarthenshire,
December, 1911.
