My Dear Leech.

I have been coming to you at least a dozen times, but have been constantly beset by some engagement.

Shall I come to you--where the Pictures are--say on Friday? Any time on that day will suit me. I will come at 2 on Friday, unless I hear from you to the contrary. If Friday should not suit you, I will suggest another day forthwith.

Ever Faithfully

Charles Dickens
