Summary
Hoping Macready will visit Gad's Hill, and giving a schedule of when Dickens "can be humanely sure of being here." Confiding in Macready that Dickens does not believe Elliotson "is in a sufficiently vigorous state of mind to be advantageously consulted." Noting that Dickens has had "peculiar opportunities of judging him lately, and when he was just now in attendance on Wilkie they were confirmed." Asking Macready to not tell the Pollacks [other patients of Elliotson].
