DICKENS (CHARLES)
Autograph letter signed (Charles Dickens), to the Rev Sydney Turner, thanking him for his letter and the papers he has kindly sent and assuring him that had so short a notice found him disengaged he would certainly have come to the Dinner on Saturday; but telling him that he is hopelessly bound to another good work of a less public and extensive interest, and cannot possibly do so; he also tells Turner that he is much occupied just now, and shall be, until about the twenty fifth of March, but should be happy to visit his institution at some later time, 2 pages, trace of mounting at top left-hand corner, slight browning touching the edges where formerly framed, 8vo, Devonshire Terrace, 24 February 1848
