My dear Mr Chambers,

  To my knowledge, I never met William de Morgan.  He was of a younger
generation, born in 1839.  But the great tile maker, and the novelist were
one and the same.  I take an interest, because Mr de Morgan paid me the
honour of being a devotee of my works, and was a founder member of the
Dickens Fellowship.


Faithfully yours,


Charles Dickens
