"I have been constantly 'going' to call on you one morning and bring you the enclosed with many thanks. My occupations have so constantly enforced me with the substitution of the will for the deed, that I think it best to send it thus after all."
Joseph Charles King (1794-1854) was the schoolmaster who tutored Dickens's sons, Charley (1847-49) and Walter (1849-51), in preparation for public school.
