Monday Thirty First May, 1858
Dear Sir
                I wish, without any regard to cost, to get the best photograph of myself that can be produced, to send to a friend in Italy. As I wish it to be tolerably easy to carry about in some elegant little case, I presume it should be a head merely.
                If you will have the kindness to undertake this little commission, I shall have perfect confidence in the result.
                May I ask you to be so good as to favor me with an appointment either for Wednesday Afternoon after 2, or for any time next Saturday or the following Monday, after 10 in the morning.
                Dear Sir
                Your faithful Servant
                Charles Dickens
Herbert Watkins Esquire
