Summary
Discussing Cruikshank, noting that Dickens has long believed him to be mad, and asking Macrone to communicate to Cruikshank that Dickens is "very much amused at the notion of his altering [his] Manuscript." Objecting to any of Cruikshank's suggestions, and wondering whether the second volume [of Sketches by Boz] even requires illustration.
