Abstract
4 Mar 1870. Mr. Helps presents his humble duty to Your Majesty; & encloses a letter which he has received from Mr. Dickens. Mr Helps thinks the Queen will be pleased with this letter. It really would be right that the author, whose name will hereafter be closely associated with the Victorian era, should have been presented to Queen Victoria. And Your Majesty would like the man: he, too, has the most anxious desire to raise what we call ‘the lower classes’; & would sympathize with Your Majesty in many of the Queen’s views and aspirations.
