Devonshire Terrace
  Tuesday Fourteenth April
  1846
My Dear Count D’Orsay
  Can you dine here, next Tuesday the Twenty First, at half past Six? Lord Robertson is going to dine with us – and Macready.
  If you can, we have been thinking it will be as well to Christen the youngster on that day. I protest, however, against you being summoned to the church part of the ceremony, because I can find you a Deputy, and save you the bore of coming out in the Morning.
  Ever Affectionately
  Charles Dickens
The Count D’Orsay.
