Autograph letter, signed, of 7 September 1853, containing approximately 90 words. London. In this "postscript" written on the inside of an envelope, Dickens thanks Macready for his "delightful note on the completion of B. H.--not the least of the joys of completing it." He reports that the 22nd of October is "the day appointed for Catherine."
To Albert Schloss. Autograph quotation, signed, of 22 January 1844, containing approximately 15 words. London. On this leaf, one of two from the visitors’ album of Schloss, Dickens writes: “And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God Bless Us Every One!” These leaves, which are summarized in Pilgrim II, in the fourth note on page 386, were inscribed at various times by twelve other men; John Leech’s drawing of “Old Scrooge” stands out on the page where Dickens’s quotation appears.
To Mr. and Mrs. Beecher Stowe. Autograph letter of 3 May 1853, containing approximately 25 words. London. This invitation to dinner on 14 May, from “Mr. and Mrs. Charles Dickens” to the Stowes, is written entirely in the hand of Catherine Dickens.
Autograph letter, signed, of 24 November 1869, containing approximately 40 words. Gad's Hill Place. Dickens wishes that the whole of The Mystery of Edwin Drood could be set in type before serial publication begins, but he will be satisfied if half is ready by then.
