W. H. Davies (1871-1940) was a Welsh poet, writer and traveler around the United States and United Kingdom. Davies personally financed the printing of his first book The Soul's Destroyer in 1905 at a cost of £19. The book was generally ignored. Desperate for money, Davies compiled a list of prominent persons, and wrote to each sending a copy to the book and a request for financial assistance.
Holograph letter to author Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch asking for financial assistance with the book The Soul's Destroyer and other Poems "...as I am at present without means of support."
