My Dear Serle.

    I confess I have a strong personal desire to "pull" Mr. Lancaster, the hero of the enclosed letter; and make a Bow-street application in regard of his swindling in Charity's name. I would as soon do it, in my own person, as eat my breakfast.
    I shall be glad to hear what you think of it, and also to confer with you, about Rosa's passage out (which should be secured) &c &c. By the way, she is coming to you tomorrow morning for some money.
    Can you come to me any Evening in this next week; or, better still, can you come and dine with me, quite alone, any day but Friday, at half past five? Make your own appointment, and it will be sure to be acceptable and convenient to me. 
                                               Always My Dear Serle
                                                        Faithfully Yours
                                                             Charles Dickens
T. J. Serle Esquire
