Summary
Accepting an invitation with pleasure, but noting that they must bring their guest and Dickens is "sorry to say [he] can't recommend her." Mentioning, though, that "as people have different opinions, some preferring onions to apples, perhaps [Macready will] like her." Praising Macready's punning in a previous letter, noting that it "convulsed" him.
