8 lines on first side of 4pp 8vo, lightly folded for posting. A v.g. clean example in blue ink in Dickens's clear and distinct hand. Dickens writes in the third person to inform his correspondent that he will be 'at home and happy to receive Mr Cundall and Mr Absolon, at twelve o'clock tomorrow (Wednesday) morning'. Although not further named, the recipients are likely to be Joseph Cundall and John Absolon, a writer and artist who collaborated on a volume for children, The Treasury of Pleasure Books for Young Children, which was published in 1850. Cundall is not listed in the cumulative index of the Pilgrim Letters, but Absolon and Dickens corresponded in 1851 regarding an illustration for the Guild of Literature and Arts. Provenance. Purchased from Ewbank's auction house, June 2023, from the collection of Ernest Pearce. PLEASE NOTE: For customers within the UK this item is subject to VAT at 20%.
