I am glad to find you so faithfully following “Great Expectations,” which story is an immense success. As I was at work upon it the other day, a letter from your sister Emma appeared upon my table. . . . . Instantly, I seemed to see her at needlework in the dark stage-box of the Haymarket in the morning, and you swept yourself into my full view with a ‘Property’ house-broom. With the kindest regards to Cowden Clarke, whom I have always quoted since “The Lighthouse” as the best “audience” known to mortality,

Believe me ever affectionately yours,
Charles Dickens.
