O., Etc. formerly of 3 Macartney House, Greenwich Park, London S.E. 10 and the grandson of Charles Dickens. The letter states `The box with the following inscription on it `Gerald 13th October 1918 Belonged to Auntie, Auntie was Georgina Hogarth, Charles Dickens` Sister-in-law (and my great aunt) who until the latter`s death in 1870 lived at Gads Hill Place. G. C. Dickens, 25th April 1958`. Georgina Hogarth joined Dickens` household in 1842 aged 15 and stayed until his death in 1870. In 1858 she sided with Dickens in his quarrel with her sister Catherine, Dickens` wife. This resulted in Catherine moving out with her eldest son while Georgina remained in the household to care for the remaining children. According to Charles Dickens` will Georgina `Auntie` inherited: `£8,000 free of legacy and duty, all my personal jewellery and all the familiar and personal items from my writing table and room`. The above box could well have belonged to Charles Dickens, it certainly is a masculine piece and on his death passed to Georgina Hogarth and thence to his grandson Admiral Sir Gerald Charles Dickens on his 39th birthday.
