Monday Afternoon. [24 July 1843] [1]

My dear Sir,

I have this moment received a note from Mr Dickens to the effect that “he will make a point of being at home on Wednesday next at one o’clock, and will be happy to see you.” I write to apprise you at once, in order to prevent your arrangements being unnecessarily broken for that day,—though I shall, I hope, see you to-morrow and tell you how much pleasure your visit of this morning gave us all.

Ever yours faithfully,

R Browning.
