Poet William Watson's Brother Breaks Silence on Mission Claim
Robinson Watson issues a Montreal statement denying William Watson’s claim of a hostile mission against a premier's family in England. He recalls a past mental illness, declares the poems and accusations the result of delusion, and notes Dr Aked's apology as insufficient. The letter links the 1890s crisis to a later royal bounty grant and a broader debate over the poet's behavior.
