Two Autograph Letters Signed (both 'Reg: F. Wells') from the English sculptor and potter Reginald F. Wells to 'Miss Bellis', regarding her purchase of two bronzes, and the art dealer E. J. Van Wisselingh.

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.
