Description

Sweet talk from the diabetic author: “I send [autographs] only to subscribers ... to the great cause of keeping sugar in its place”

Eminent British writer (1866–1946) who pioneered the science fiction genre with such classic novels as The Time Machine, War of the Worlds, and The Invisible Man. ANS in pencil, one page on the reverse of a 5 x 8 flyer announcing a luncheon at the Economic Reform Club, no date [circa 1938]. Wells writes to an unnamed recipient. In full: “The Diabetic Association (Baker St.) has a monopoly on my autographs. I send them only to subscribers of 2/6 or more to the great cause of keeping sugar in its place.” In very good condition, with a few creases, light scattered staining and soiling to blank portions, and a touch of wrinkling and handling wear. R&R COA.
