My Dear Mr. Rogers.
    I am Chairman of a Committee whose object is, to open a Subscription and arrange a benefit for the relief of the seven destitute children (for they have no mother) of poor Mr. Elton the actor, who was drowned in the Pegasus. They are exceedingly anxious to have the great assistance of your name; and if you will kindly allow yourself to be announced as one of the Body, I do assure you you will help a very melancholy and distressful cause.
                                                                                         Faithfully Yours always
                                                                                                           Charles Dickens
