London, 1862. 1 p. bifolium on Garrick Club stationary. 8vo. Old folds, some soiling and toning around the edges (from handling). 1 p. bifolium on Garrick Club stationary. 8vo. Characteristically terse and tart response from Thackeray to someone seeking him out, although in this case, not putting him off entirely. It reads in full:
Sir
If you write to see me regarding the Cornhill Magazine I have to inform you that I am no longer Editor. I am changing from Onslow Square to Palace Green Kensington, & meanwhile staying at an hotel for about a week I shall be a Kensington.
Faithfully yours,
WM Thackeray
