ALS, one page, 4.25 x 6.5, July 7, 1842. Addressed from Devonshire Terrace, a short handwritten letter to his publisher, "William Hall Esquire," in part: "I inclose you the proof, to which I have added the name, as it will save a great deal of trouble to have it printed, and (perhaps) look finer." This letter may refer to ‘American Notes for General Circulation,’ a travelogue by detailing his trip to North America from January to June 1842, which was published by Chapman and Hall in October of that year. In fine condition, with light soiling and trimmed edges. Penned in the summer of 1842, this letter dates shortly after Dickens returned from his United States trip, where he spent time with many notables from Boston to New York (and Niagara Falls) to Washington D.C. (visiting President Tyler) to Baltimore, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Canada.
