Notes, topics or text
The auction was held 9 November 2022. Lot 258, to which this letter belonged, was sold for £11,000.
As summarized for the auction, Wells puts the behaviour of Dora Russell down to "that phase in a woman's life when motives become moody and incalculable", thanking his stars that men do not go through that state and pronouncing Marie Stopes' The Change of Life to be "a perfectly crazy book".
