What interest I have, I/have already exerted in behalf/of others. But if you can ever/use my recommendation with effect/for any particular object that/may present itself, I shall be/happy to give it you the/fullest extent, and you may/freely command it./Faithfully yours/Charles Dickens/Mr. George Hartland".
