* NOTE. Mr. Vernon Watkins wrote me a pleasant letter about this, saying Dylan enjoyed telling stories about the hardships of his childhood, family ignorance, and so on. They were certainly not rich, and they were religious enough, but not illiterates—educated, respectable people, and most loving and tender parents. N.B. I sent this letter to The New York Times to be published. The editor did not return the letter, and published it changed to appear that the letter had been written to The Times instead of to me.
