Evidence:
‘You mention Ian Hay and MacGill. I had a glance at Ian Hay, and wished I could read it, but had to leave it. What I saw was very good indeed … By the way have you ever read W. H. Davies "Autobiography of a Super-Tramp". It would delight you immensely by its simplicity and plain truth … The only thing poor about Autobiography is the title. I hate “Super” things.’
