My Dear Cattermole
I think the drawing most famous, and so do the publishers, to whom I sent it to-day.  If Browne should suggest anything for the future which may enable him to do you justice in copying (on which point he is very anxious), I will communicate it to you. It has occurred to me that perhaps you will like to see his copy on the block before it is cut, and I have therefore told Chapman and Hall to forward it to you.
In future, I will take care that you have the No. to choose your subject from.  I ought to have done so, perhaps, in this case; but I was very anxious that you should do the room.
Perhaps the shortest plan will be for me to send you, as inclosed, regularly, but if you prefer keeping account with the Publishers, they will be happy to enter upon it when, where, and how you please.

                                                                                               Faithfully Yours alway
George Cattermole Esquire                                                           CHARLES DICKENS
