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 [[tricks?]] 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.
