Creator
Taylor, Tom, 1817-1880.
Display Date
undated [after 1858].
Description
1 item (3 pages) ; 18.7 x 11.3 cm
Notes
Taylor's correspondent may be Octavian Blewitt, secretary of the Royal Literary Fund.
Written on stationery with letterhead: "Local Government Act Office, / 8, Richmond Terrace, / Whitehall, S. W."
Taylor appears to have dated the letter, but the date is illegible. Taylor worked for the Board of Health at the Local Government Act Office from 1858 until his retirement in 1872, so it is likely that this letter was written during that period, but this cannot be confirmed.
Removed from an extra-illustrated copy of John Forster, The life of Charles Dickens (London: Chapman and Hall, 1872-1874); Call number: 509 D548 F.

Summary
Asking if Blewitt's inquiries about an appointment yielded any information; saying that he wants to avoid "the formality of a circular to all."
