Autograph letter signed : place not specified, to his father, John Doyle, 1843 Dec. 17.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/768494366

Concerning his "Christmas things:" remarking that he has been so busy with "Punchification" and cartoons that the work he was doing for his father is as yet unfinished. Asking "Now, don't you think it will be much better, instead of showing you in an unfinished state the little work I have done for you, to wait until after Christmas and get it into a more satisfactory condition? Of course you do!" Describing the allegorical scene he has drawn on p. 2-3, noting that the demon Punch is perched upon the table in exultation, while Harlequin (indicative of Christmas) weeps over Doyle's unfinished work and characters in the background "show that it was not for want of paper." Remarking that "I think that the secret lies in the little man with the money bag."

1 item (3 p., with address) : ill. ; 22.6
