Autograph letter signed : Broadstairs, to Henry Austin, 1851 July 25.

Declining to assist Austin, mentioning that it is "quite out of [his] power to do the cause any good service within the short time." Stating that he cannot add any material to the forthcoming issue of Household Words; noting that "to write to the Times on such a subject, would involve an amount of correspondence that [he] really could not ... encounter," reminding him of the "enormous mass of business" brought upon Dickens when he wrote a letter on the execution of the Mannings; and mentioning that he does not like to publish articles in Household Words that are out of its niche "unless for some very extraordinary reason." Mentioning that he has agreed to pay £1,500 for Tavistock House, including the fixtures.
