Single sheet of light grey stationery folded once vertically to form 4 pages 24 lines ~ 85 words. 7-1/8" x 4-3/8" <br/><br/>D'Oyly writes Harley who was fairly close to Dickens at the time & for whom Dickens wrote The Strange Gentleman asking for an introduction to the rising star of the British literary world. "if you would be so kind as to give me a letter of introduction to Mr. Charles Dickens Boz that is to say provided you can so so without impropriety inserted above trouble for I have long wished to know him both from reading his inimitable works & also what I have heard of him personally." Evidently Harley did so for Dickens writes Harley on 6 April "Thank you very for consulting me in the matter of our friend's note. unidentified by Pilgrim letters editors He must be a rum customer I take it for he had written me before forwarding a book of Poems of his writing: the which I graciously acknowledged. Therefore I should thought he needed no other Introduction. Whatever you desire to do in the matter - do - and be assured it will please me." Pilgrim Letters v. 3 p. 468. Apparently the two did not meet at least in the early 1840s for according to Dickens' Letters 1840 - 1846 there is no correspondence with D'Oyly. unknown books
