My dear Miss Dukes,
There are chords of the heart best not vibrated . . . . You touch upon
matters of great but private import for me. But let me confess. I wrote "A
Tale of Two Cities" at the time my marriage to Mrs Dickens was crumbling
into nothingness. We had lived together unhappily for many years. In 1858
I made the decision to separate, and procured a comfortable home for her
elsewhere, in Camden Town. Amid all the distress, I felt that I was at last
emerging from a living grave - that I had been buried alive, but was being
recalled to life.
Faithfully yours,
Charles Dickens
