Confirming an appointment for the following day and discussing Wills' article ["The Troubled Water Question"], asking for an honest review of it. Noting that Wills "has not the ghost of an idea in the imaginative way," but that Dickens has hired him as sub editor because of his business skills. Mentioning that the following day Dickens will show Austin "a few lines of the Sanitary Preface" he has written for the "cheap Oliver," noting that he has gone to the expense of printing it in order to "sew up" with David Copperfield.
