Bold ink signature, "Faithfully yours, Charles Dickens, Devonshire Terrace, York Gate Regents Park, 2nd October 1840,” on an off-white 7.25 x 4.5 slip. In very good to fine condition, with light soiling, and staining along the left edge from old mounting residue on the back.
On Devonshire Terrace, Dickens and his family lived at No. 1, just off Marleybone Road, near Regent's Park. Here he wrote the following seven novels: Nicholas Nickleby (1838-39), The Old Curiosity Shop (1840-41), Barnaby Rudge (1841), Martin Chuzzlewit (1843-44), Nicholas Nickleby (1839), Dombey and Son (1846-48), and David Copperfield (1849-50). When his lease expired, Dickens left Devonshire Terrace for Tavistock House, Bloomsbury, which would become his London residence for a decade, from November 1851 through September 1860.
