Tavistock House
Third January 1854
My Dear Sir
I too have a very pleasant remembrance of the evening to which you refer. And your name is so much a part of it, that I require no other reminder.
I shall take counsel with our "Friends", with the greatest interest in the subject that occupies their thoughts. Sanitary improvements are the one thing needful to begin with;--and until they are thoroughly, efficiently, uncompromisingly made (and every bestial little prejudice and supposed interest contrariwise, crushed under foot) even Education itself will fall short of its uses.
Very Faithfully Yours
Arthur Helps Esquire Charles Dickens
