New Burlington Street. June 20, 1857.
My dear Friend,
Will you kindly let me know when I may expect to have the pleasure of seeing you in my family? How long your present hospitable host Mr Dickens will postpone my pleasure? as I wish to invite some pleasant friends to meet you? What day in next week will you come?
Most sincerely Yrs.
Richard Bentley.
