Description

ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, December 24, 1854. Handwritten letter to T. J. Serle, sent from "Tavistock House." In part: "I doubt expediency of moving in this matter, because I doubt the possibility of confining the movement to men whose gratified recognition would be really acceptable. I have not the opportunity of sounding Forster, for he is out of town for his Christmas week; but I have a strong belief that he would feel as I do." In fine condition.

Published in The Letters of Charles Dickens: 1847-1857, edited by Walter Dexter.
