Evidence: | Dorothy Wordsworth to Thomas Hutchinson, 14 December 1820, on her nephew William's academic progress: '...he seems yet to have little or no satisfaction in reading alone. He draws and writes of himself but never takes up a Book except when I require it [of him]. I must say he always does it cheefully.'
