All three items concern Littlejohns' 'British Watercolour Painting and Painters of Today' (London: Pitman, 1931)'. First Letter: 12mo, 3 pp. 43 lines. Text clear and entire. On two leaves attached to one another in a corner by a pin. Good, on lightly-creased paper. Interesting and informative letter concerning 'two watercolours' which Williams would 'like to be 'reproduced in [Littlejohn's] work on water colours'. Gives details of the titles of the works and the name and address of the owner, 'who has consented to send them'. Discusses the techniques employed in executing the two works, and the paper they were painted on. Second Letter (to 'Dear Sir' [i.e. Littlejohns]): 12mo, 1 p. Four lines. Good. Thanks him 'for the prints of my two water colours', which he thinks are 'excellent'. Third Letter (to Pitman): 12mo, 1 p. 8 lines. Good. Acknowledging the 'very welcome gift of copies' of the book. 'I think the reproductions of my own watercolours are excellent and, as far as I am able to judge, the others are equally good & the book is a most pleasant possession'.
