Sometimes we wonder, thinking of his rounded, fluent periods with the old style of pen, what delightful effects he might have achieved with a Waterman's Ideal! Probably much of the "abject misery" of composition would have fallen away, and at least he would have had the pen ease and comfort which come with a Waterman's Ideal to all modern writers. With such an aid to his literary output there is no knowing to what heights this misunderstood man might have soared. An M.P. writes, 8/3/67, of Waterman's Ideal: "Your Pen (with which I am writing this while listening to the Woman's Suffrage Debated) is the only one of the kind I have ever had real pleasure in using."
