- Brief description
- Letter, from Charles Dickens to Thomas Beard, 1832
- Label
- Thomas Beard was one of Dickens's oldest and longest-abiding friends. A note on the letter's envelope, presumed to be by Dickens's father, John, asks Beard a favour and mentions money presumably owed to other people. This was a running theme throughout John’s life and his relationships with both Charles and Beard. The letter is dated, presumably by Beard, 1832.

- Dear Beard.
Many thanks for the Tamarinds. Is it of any use asking you and “a Brother or two” to look in and take a Glass of Punch and a Cigar tomorrow Evening?
If you are not better engaged and will honor me I need not say I shall be most happy to see you.
Believe me
Truly Yours
