ALS, two pages, 4.25 x 7, April 22, 1857. Addressed from Dickens’s London home at the Tavistock House, a handwritten letter to George Darling, in part: “My absence from London has prevented me from returning an earlier reply to your letter, and sending back your manuscript with thanks. I can hardly be expected to reorganize the necessity of the question propounded at your Debating Society…But it is extremely agreeable and gratifying to me to have so earnest a champion as yourself and find the generous ardor of youth expressing itself so well, and with so strong a love of what is good and true.” In fine condition, with a very slightly irregularly trimmed left edge.
