Note: In a letter dated 2 October 1897, Wells writes: "I am delighted to find you think well of my story and that you read my work of the "Invisible Man". I've had the greatest doubts. I've scarcely any facility in story building, and simple as the thing seems it cost me a vast deal of labour. After it was sold and within three weeks of its serial printing I discovered so much clumsiness that I had to take it to pieces and reconstruct it. Since which I have funked reading it. So that your good opinion is an immense relief to me". Of Gosse's "Father and Son" Wells writes: "... This thing isn't a book that can be fettered by any of the common phrases. It lives, it breathes, it is warm and kind like a friend ... One could go on with a good appetite to the rest of your autobiography". Thanks for comments on the "Invisible Man" and the "War of the Worlds"; life at Sandgate; President of the Goncourt Academy;the Appletons as publishers; thanks for good opinions; dancing; enquiry about Brandes;
two visits to Denmark, "Father and Son"; McKenna's Bill; against literary academies; Mrs Garnett. The envelopes are attached in most cases.
