ALS in French, one page, 4.5 x 7, June 10, 1848. Handwritten letter to the Count D'Orsay, relating that he has just returned from two weeks in the country to find a gift from the Count—apparently one of the Count's art works—which he has placed in a position of honor; he extends his good wishes to Miss Doner and the little Marquise. In very fine condition.
Dickens was a close friend of Alfred d'Orsay, a French amateur artist, dandy, and man of fashion. When the novelist had his sixth child, he named him Alfred D'Orsay Tennyson Dickens, honoring the child's dual godfathers: Alfred, Lord Tennyson and Alfred, Comte d'Orsay. A desirable association piece boasting an outstanding, crisp Dickens autograph.
