   Station Hotel York
        Friday Tenth September 1858.
Dear Sir,
                 I have received here to day, a note from our friend Miss Mary Boyle, explaining to me the nature of the honor you courteously propose to do me on the 29th. of this month.
                Allow me to express my regret that I cannot have the gratification of accepting your kind invitation. I have arranged to be in Edinburgh on that day, and my engagement is a public one.
                               Dear Sir
                          Yours faithfully and obliged
                           Charles Dickens
