Dear Miss Wyatt:

I'm again in debt to you for the kindest of letters. Yes, "Alice Adams" tried to be as true as Mr. Howells would have liked it to be; and of course he taught us how to be truthful. One grows more and more to despise the unclear he despised and to know how right he was in what he respected. John Howells was here, the other day, and we spoke of Gosse's silliness about Howells: Gosse wanted Howells to be Zola--said it was a weakness in Howells that kept him from knowing and feeling all the muck? that so interested Zola.
