Fascinating ALS, one page both sides, 7 x 9, personal letterhead, October 4, 1928. Wells writes to Mr. Dickinson. In part: “I am greatly obliged to you for your…letter & your sympathetic activities. A considerable number of people have been interested in the idea of the O.C. in spite of the unattractive way in which it is written. There is no central organization to forward these ideas. I have put my own views very dogmatically; they serve for me; but I quite realise that there must be a lot of variety and change in the kindred and parallel movements that are likely to arise out of the conditions and suggestions of the present time. Organize an independent and different group of your own, taking the O.C. merely as your point of departure.” In fine condition, with a central horizontal and vertical folds and a couple of trivial edge chips. “O.C.” evidently refers to Wells’s 1928 work The Open Conspiracy, a prophetic call for a worldwide network of knowledge decades before the development of the internet.
