Summary
Refusing to sell the manuscript [of Dickens' "The Cricket on the Hearth"]; saying "I have been out of town - and only returned home yesterday, when I found your note. I have not the slightest intention of ever parting with my M.S. - and I have settled its disposal, after my Death, also. I am much obliged by your suggestion, but I am sorry I cannot entertain it. You see I have changed my address since you saw me."
