To UNKNOWN CORRESPONDENT, 12 JANUARY 1849

Text from facsimile in Forsythes’ Auctions, LLC. online catalogue, 2006.

Devonshire Terrace | Twelfth January 1849.

Dear Sir.

I have received your letter and will not forget it. I should be really happy to assist you to any suitable employment if it were in my power; but I know of none, and I fear I am not likely to know of any.

Faithfully Yours | CHARLES DICKENS1
