[The Letters of Charles Dickens-gengivelse]

At Gad's Hill, we have left off digging for water, and are now boring. I watch the process with the resignation of despair.

We are suffering a good deal from Andersen. The other day we lost him when we came up to the London bridge Terminus, and he took a Cab by himself. The Cabman driving him through the new unfinished street at Clerkenwell, he thought he was driving him into remote fastnesses, to rob and murder him. He consequently arrived here with all his money, his watch, his pocketbook and documents, in his boots - and it was a tremendous business to unpack him and get them off. I have of arrived at the conviction that he cannot speak Danish; and the best of it is that his Translatress declares he can't - is ready to make oath of it before any magistrate.

With love to Mrs. Brown,

Dear Miss Coutts

Evver Affecy. & faithfully Yours
