Characteristically terse and tart response from Thackeray to someone seeking him out, although in this case, not putting him off entirely. It reads in full:
Sir
If you write to see me regarding the Cornhill Magazine I have to inform you that I am no longer Editor. I am changing from Onslow Square to Palace Green Kensington, & meanwhile staying at an hotel for about a week I shall be a Kensington.
Faithfully yours,
WM Thackeray"
