Notes
Letter appears to be dated "1857"
Letter is written on stationery from All the Year Round and appears to be dated with the year "1857"; researcher Joel Brattin notes that Dickens was not yet employed at All the Year Round in 1857, so perhaps he meant to write 1859 on this letter. The stationery and handwriting appear authentic, and the content is appropriate to the All the Year Round period.
Provenance
Bequest of Gordon N. Ray, 1987.
Summary
Declining to publish a paper submitted to All the year round, entitled "A flower fancy".
