Two signed and handwritten items from Charles Dickens: an ALS, one page, 4.25 x 7, August 10, 1848, addressed from Broadstairs, Kent, a letter to the Reverend William Valentine: “I beg to enclose you a few scraps of my hand-writing. Allow me to add that I feel obliged to you for your letter, and that my best wishes attend your christian enterprise.” Included is the referenced “few scraps of my hand-writing,” an AQS on an off-white 4.25 x 7 sheet, dated August 10, 1848, which contains a brief extract from his 1848 novel Dombey and Son: “‘Poor Wal'r! said the Captain. ‘And he's dead, my pretty. Ain't he?’” In overall very good to fine condition, with overall creasing and light soiling, and light pink lines affecting nothing.
