ALS, one page, 5.5 x 8.5, March 16, 1842. Letter to Colonel Clarke. In full: “I had not noticed your mistake. Your kindness is of the best sort and the very fullest measure; and I did not think of weighing your words so nicely. I thank you cordially for the books.” Double matted and framed with a portrait of Dickens to an overall size of 14.5 x 25. In very good condition, with light overall creasing and wrinkling, uniform block of toning from previous display, with several heavier spots, and an uneven left edge. Oversized. Colonel Clarke was a friend of Dickens. In one of his stories, ‘Felicia Crompton,’ published in All the Year Round, Dickens pays tribute to his friend by using him as a kind and generous character: ‘My poor Felicia; my my darling, patient Felicia; she loved Colonel Clarke; they loved one another. And he is dead?’
