My Dear Miss Jolly
  You fall into a very natural mistake when you suppose that “half a word” from me to Messrs. Chapman and Hall would ensure your being attended to favourably by that Firm. Without entering into an explanation particularly distasteful to me, I beg you to rely on my assurance that you are wholly in error on that point. I have no influence with them bespeaking the most ordinary civility in behalf of another, and I have proved it very lately.
  There can be no objection to your writing to them to propose your manuscript; neither to your referring to our connexion with these pages. I think you would do so, with a very fair chance of success.
  Believe me always
  Faithfully Yours
  Charles Dickens
