Both items in excellent condition, on lightly-aged paper. Letter One (22 December 1902): Addressed to 'Dear Sir'. He has asked Van Wisselingh 'to send the bronzes as I have none here', and he is waiting for a reply: 'if the bronzes have not arrived please wire and you shall have them before Xmas.' Letter Two (25 December 1902): He hopes that his mistake in addressing her as 'Sir' has 'amused and not annoyed you'. He has just had a reply from Van Wisselingh: 'as the notice was so short I could not get new bronzes cast by Xmas; so I sent your letter at once to Mr. V. W.' Van Wisselingh has sent invoices, which Wells did not ask him to do: 'I would rather you sent the cheque £10. 10 to me as you intended, which I shall pass on to Mr. Van W'. He concludes: 'If you have thought me remiss I hope this lengthy epistle will explain.' Wells trained as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art, but it is his ceramics that are now more highly regarded.
