DICKENS CHARLES: (1812-1870) English Novelist. A good, unusual A.L.S., Ever Faithfully (albeit once managerially) your noble friend Wilmot [Lord Wilmot, in reference to a theatrical role Dickens had performed], one page, 8vo, Gads Hill Place, Higham by Rochester, Kent, 5th December 1863, to 'My dear Peter' [Cunningham]. Dickens announces 'I am delighted to get the hearty letter of my old Will's coffee House friend [Lord] Le Trimmer; and again the shade of poor dear [The Duke of] Middlesex crosses me, saying ''Here's Peter - won't come on, you know!'' - then, in a ghostly manner, raps gold snuff box, and fades into the other world.' Dickens further confirms the residence of a lady on Monarch Street and concludes 'God bless us all this coming Christmas, and give us Christmas thoughts! Of which your letter is full, and so most welcome.' With blank integral leaf. A letter of fine theatrical content. VG Peter Cunningham (1816-1869) Scottish Writer, son of Allan Cunningham. Dickens signs the present letter as Lord Wilmot, a character he had portrayed in Edward Bulwer-Lytton's Not So Bad as We Seem, Or, Many Sides to a Character: A Comedy in Five Acts in 1851 alongside Peter Cunningham (Lord Le Trimmer, a frequenter of Will's Coffee House) and Frank Stone (The Duke of Middlesex). Bulwer-Lytton's play was performed in 1851 as a charity event to benefit the Literary Guild, a society for struggling authors. As well as Dickens, the cast also included Mark Lemon (Sir Geoffrey Thornside), John Tenniel (Hodge) and Wilkie Collins (Smart, a valet to Lord Wilmot). It was the first time, during the production, that Dickens and Collins met. The performance was attended by Queen Victoria who thought it ''full of cleverness, though rather too long''. The present letter is written in the month and year of the 20th anniversary of the publication of A Christmas Carol on 19th December 1843, which has been credited with restoring the holiday to one of merriment and festivity in Britain and America following a period of Victorian sobriety and somberness.

I should be fit to leave here just before Christmas. It would not have been possible for me to have come any time between last October & now.
