Summary
Hoping Macready's visit to Weston super Mare "has done all it ought to do." Mentioning an upcoming trip [to "Flemish" France], and looking forward to Macready's visit. Mentioning that the Macreadys may be visiting at the same time as [Mme de la Rue], whom Dickens "magnetized long ago with those very curious results." Noting that "her case is a far more remarkable case of spectral illusions than the Berlin bookseller's," and that her husband [Emile de la Rue] will be visiting as well.
