Summary:
Hoping Sergeant would never run across "that book of bum verse" (April twilights); saying that she bought up and sunk in a "tarn" all the copies she could get; reminiscing about the poetry she wrote in the book when she was young and inexperienced; telling her to never buy one and "if you dislike me enough to want one, I'd rather give it [to] you than have you pay out money to scorn me."
