WELLS
(H. G., 1866-1946, Novelist)
Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Dr H. D. Jennings White
saying that he seems “to be the focus of a concerted attack from several people I know nothing about. I don’t remember anything particularly outrageous in your review of Bing’s book. But then I didn’t read it very carefully because I had never heard of Dr Bing & I didn’t keep that copy of Plan. I could get your book... from the Times B. Club, but by paying 4/6 as a reading fee I made them buy it. They said there was no demand for it. I never buy books if I can help it - it is just a habit - acquired in my early days as a mendacious reviewer. But it is all the same for you. I like your book... I like your altruism and a sort of outrageous common sense but I guess you have been scarred by disputes & contentions in the past. You seem to have had some sort of dispute about mental disturbance now having a physiological origin. You’ve taken up that position & you’re going to stick to it, so I won’t argue with you. You’re wrong... I doubt if you know anything much about the liver or the kidney. Forgive these casual remarks, but I fear your intensity. Where did you do your psycho analysis? I see you have a PhD. But you don’t say where you got it. Did you ever come across Pavloff? In his latter days he was dabbling in psychotherapeutics. Anyhow Entrophy is a great word...”, 3 sides 8vo., with original typed envelope, 13 Hanover Terrace headed paper, 4th February
