Autograph Letter Signed by H.G. Wells to a Mr Dickinson, dated Oct. 4, 1928, 2pp. on one sheet of paper, written in black ink on paper headed to St. Ermin's, Westminster , the paper slightly toned with some light handling, original sending folds; very good. Wells thanks the recipient for your friendly letter and your sympathetic activities in respect of the O.C. - i.e., the Open Conspiracy , his proposal for a world revolution to bring lasting peace and unity to mankind, published by Gollancz in 1928 and immediately divisive; Bertrand Russell was among its supporters, Bernard Shaw one of its critics. Wells refers to the general response to the work, and encourages Dickinson in using his blueprint as the basis for his own organisation. The letter reads as follows: Dear Mr Dickinson, I am greatly obliged to you for your friendly letter and your sympathetic activities. A considerable number of people have been interested in the idea of the O.C. in spite of the unattractive way in which it is written. There is no central organisation to forward their ideas. I have put my own views very dogmatically; for me; but I quite realise that there must be a lot of variety & change in the kindred & parallel movements that are likely to arise out of the conditions & suggestions of the present time. Organise an independent & different group of your own, taking the O.C. meaning as your point of departure. Yours Sincerely H.G.
