Summary
Mentioning his work on Little Dorrit, and noting that he is retaining Mrs. Meredith's paper [Shadows of the Golden Image] for insertion [in Household Words]. Mentioning that he dined at Frederick Pollack's, where he obtained a photograph of Macready, which strikes Dickens "as one of the most ludicrous things [Dickens] ever saw in [his] life."
