Can you conveniently send me the subject or subjects for next week by Thursday or Friday? as I wish, if practicable, to start for Brussels by the Sunday's boat—a word in reply will oblige,
Yours truly,
Hablot K. Browne.
Charles Dickens, Esq.
P.S.—Upon second thoughts I send you the enclosed epistle—(if you read it, you will find out why)—the writer thereof is "Harry Lorrequer," alias "Charles O'Malley"—to whose house I am going.

P.S. Second—A fortnight's furlough would suit me better than a week, if it could be managed, as I should like to return by Holland.
My Dear Dickens,
I am sorry I cannot have a touch at battledore with you to-day, being already booked for this evening—but I will give you a call to-morrow after church, and take my chance of finding you at home.
Yours very sincerely,
Hablot K. Browne.
Charles Dickens, Esq.
