ALS, 4.5 x 7.25, June 26, 1847. Headed at the top, “Athenauem Club, London,” Dickens declines an invitation. In part: “I have delayed answering your kind invitation, in the hope that I could so arrange my appointments as where the pleasure and honor of accepting it. I find, however, that this cannot...as I am engaged to go with Kent on Monday.” In very good condition, with scattered creasing, light soiling, areas of thin paper, and show-through from residue on the reverse. In 1847, Dickens was working on Dombey and Son, considered Dickens first artistically mature work. It was after Dombey and Son was published that Dickens' reputation as a world class author was established.
