This is a single-page shorthand draft. Given that it is written on a sheet bearing the letterhead “Tavistock House,” where Dickens lived from 1851 until 1860, we can assume that it was written sometime during that decade, and that it is possibly the draft of a letter. We know that Dickens used shorthand for drafting letters throughout his life. Such shorthand drafts are extremely rare, probably because the draft was discarded or destroyed once Dickens had copied it out in long hand and put the letter in the mail. The Morgan has only one example of a shorthand draft in Dickens’s hand, and according to the Pilgrim Edition, there are only two other shorthand drafts extant, one at the Charles Dickens Museum in London, and another at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
