Summary
Assuring him that "Every schoolboy knows that no man can be more welcome here than you always are, and that you cannot test the hearty hospitality of Gad's too often"; commenting on the prospective legal career of his son Harry Dickens, "Concerning Harry, I like to guide the boys to a discreet choice, rather than to press it on them. That will be my course as to the Middle Temple"; and concluding that nothing will induce (his son-in-law) Charles Collins to consult another doctor.
