“Henry Miller from his devoted friend & admirer John Cowper Powys Corwen N. Wales July 1950”

[Writing in Welsh]

“...by me paraphrased & thus translated in its general drift by Sir John Morris-Jones ‘I am the Bard of the hall. I am the true owner of the chair. I cause the bards to stop their chatter.’”

Powys and Miller were long-time acquaintances. See attached photo where Miller writes in his book The Books in My Life on page 135 on how he is reading Powys’ Autobiography and quotes from it on the next few pages.
