Saturday Night Seventh May 1870

My Dear Helps
        Again many thanks.
        I sent you the Queen's Letter, in compliance with your generally expressed wish, dating some time back.
       Look over leaf for a suggested title or two.
                                              Ever Faithfully
  Charles Dickens

 I think the first title—one word—the best. In fact, hardly to be improved upon.
