Description

H. G. Wells

Unsigned transmittal envelope from Wells to H. E. Hadley, 4.75 x 3.5, addressed in Wells’s hand, “Hadley F.R.S., Physics,” with a note in the upper right, “Tried to catch Davies to send this over but couldn’t. Excuse the ‘Mr’ but I have forgotten your soon-to-be-famous initials.” Wells sketches a man unhappily holding a glass of some type of foul liquid above the address. In very good condition, with tears to the top from opening, and scattered creases and soiling. Wells enjoyed adding sketches and caricatures to his correspondence, little drawings that he called ‘picshuas.’ Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
