Dickens (Charles).- Fitzgerald (Percy Hetherington, Anglo-Irish author and critic, painter and sculptor, 1834-1925) Autograph Letter signed to Israel Richards in the London office of the New-York Sun, 4pp., sm. 4to, Atheneum, Wednesday [?December] [1910], describing the burial of Dickens in Westminster Abbey, "I can tell you nothing about Dickens death... . Only relatives executors etc were at the funeral. Under his will however there came to me as his personal friend - his paper knife - which was spotted with his favourite blue ink and a paper weight... . Though not at the funeral I attended at the Abbey in the afternoon - & went to look at the grave which had been kept open for his public to visit... and I recall being much touched as I looked down and read the letters on the coffin "CHARLES DICKENS", and saying that he had sculptured a bust of Dickens and set it up in the Pump Room in Bath, presentation inscription from Richards to Duncan Davis at head and a covering note, folds.
