Dear Stone

                   Perhaps you will kindly write me a Notice of Wilkie, for Household Words? I think it would be gratifying to him.

                   Humphrey Clinker is certainly Smollett’s best. I am rather divided between Peregrine Pickle and Roderick Random—both extraordinarily good in their way, which is a way without tenderness—but you will have to read them both, and I send the first Volume of Peregerine as the richer of the two

                                                           Ever affecy
