Writer with a long way to travel — just the job for us? (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
wells fargo
'just the job for us?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'writer with a long way to travel' is the wordplay.
'writer' becomes 'wells' (HG Wells).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a long way' becomes 'far' (I've seen this in other clues).
'to travel' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'wells'+'far'+'go'='WELLS FARGO'
(Other definitions for wells fargo that I've seen before include "stage names" , "American company - with 23a" , "Mail and transport company" , "carrying company" .)
