                Carlton House.
                                Twenty Third February 1842.
My Dear Longfellow.
                You are coming to England, you know. – Now, listen to me. When you return to London, I shall be there, Please God. Write to me from the Continent, and tell me when to expect you. We live quietly – not uncomfortably – and among people whom I am sure you would like to know; as much as they would like to know you. Have no home but mine – see nothing in town on your way towards Germany – and let me be your London host and cicerone. Is this a bargain?
                Always
                                Faithfully Your friend
                                                Charles Dickens
Professor Longfellow.
