My dear Mrs Jenkins,

  Apologise for no delay.  There can be few nobler tasks than the teaching
of teachers.  Such a duty must come before any obligation to me.  The
delightful fancy you are shaping, simultaneously to please and instruct your
charges, calls for work, I know.  Few indeed know better than I do, how much
work is required to achieve the effect of effortlessness in art.
  The domestic difficulties are less mine, than those of my worthy assistant
Dr Parker, without whom I cannot communicate in this fashion.  A close
relation of Dr Parker's is gravely ill, and he may be called away at any
time.  Were you to contact me on 1 July, however, you would at least know
whether there were answers you could use the following day and, unless we
are unlucky, have such answers ready for use.   It would be less of a
gamble.  So I heartily endorse your suggestion and, God willing, shall be
ready for you on 1 July.


Faithfully yours,


Charles Dickens
