Autograph letter signed : Higham, to William Macready, 1862 July 2.

Mentioning that the readings have "been surprising successful in London." Discussing "the sudden decline of the health and spirit of Georgina," noting that "she is labouring under degeneration of the heart" and that "all that alacrity and 'cheer of spirit' that used to distinguish her, are gone." Hoping to remove the Dickens' "best and dearest friend" to Paris to recover. Looking forward to Macready's visit, and mentioning his intention to read Gould's "John Doe and Richard Roe."
