Scope and Content
This letter was written by Dickens shortly before his death in 1870 to his son Alfred in Victoria. The letter refers to the visit of a Mr Bear (a Melbourne trader) to Dickens' house, and also to his other son Edward, who had recently migrated to New South Wales. Dickens states that, despite what Edward seems to think, he realises that the brothers aspire to the first position in the colony.
Background
