My dear Mr Eli,

  In book three, chapter four, I allude to "Twenty-two friends of high
public mark."  These are the Girondin deputies executed in october 1793.  In
book three, chapter twelve, I speak of a "Jacobin journal."  But I was not
writing a history.  I was under no obligation to allude to all the most
significant events and personalities of the Revolution.  I used only those
germane to my story.


Faithfully yours,


Charles Dickens
