Dear Mr Dickens,
I have been reading with great enjoyment your early work "Sketches
by Boz" but I must confess there is one reference which has so far,
despite my researches, eluded me.
In the piece Seven Dials, there is a reference to "Tom King and
the Frenchman" immortalising the area. I have been unable to find an
annotated Sketches and would, therefore, be grateful if you could inform
me who these gentlemen were and how this immortalisation was effected.
I hope I may take the liberty of thanking you in anticipation of your
assistance.
Your obt. servant
Catherine Carter
