My dear Mr Stuart,

  You all but answer your own question with respect to Sydney Carton.  But
it is more the debauchery and careless indifference he is rescued from, than
the work.  And is not Dr Manette redeemed by the love of his daughter?  Does
not Mr Lorry become a better completer man through witnessing love, and what
it may do?  Is not Miss Pross given a kind of nobility by love, compared
with Madame Defarge, dragged down by hatred?

Faithfully yours,


Charles Dickens
