Alice in Wonderland’s creator jokes about a delayed train

ALS signed “C. L. Dodgson,” one page, 4 x 6, The Chestnuts, Guildford, January 7, 1882. Letter to “Ethel.” In full: “My train professes to reach Brighton at 4h40 on Monday, which would enable me to reach your house about 5: but trains are not always punctual, and if (for example) it should be 24 hours late, you may expect me at about 5 on Tuesday.” In very good condition, with purple ink light but legible, and light paper loss and mounting remnants to second integral page. Pre-certified John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
