HOCKING
(Joseph, 1855-1937, Congregationalist Minister and Novelist)
Autograph Letter Signed to David Rees,
saying that his "pictures are of great promise", and commenting that "the 'up to date Tourist' is ... too wooden ... It is not safe either for an artist or a literary man to be dependent on that profession until he has absolutely conquered his faults. My advice is stick to your stockbroking for a few years. But meanwhile cultivate the gift which is undoubtedly yours ... I know of dozens of very good artists who are stumping London, and besieging editors in vain, poor fellows, who are nearly starving. They did what you evidently feel like doing. At present your work wd. not be taken by an editor but you are only 18; and there is no reason, as far as I can judge, why in a few years, you shd not see your work in the public press. If you will stay behind at some service I shall be glad to talk with you. P.S. Why not attend classes for drawing?", 4 sides 8vo., Trevanion, Hadley Common, New Barnet, Hertfordshire, 21st January
