Summary
Replying to his letter concerning the possibility of a visit from Dickens to America; saying "I only know that a report is in circulation of Mr. Dickens's contemplated visit to this country. I am not aware of any authentic statement, but I believe it is understood, that he intends to attempt a course of readings from his own works. Nothing in the way of securing his services can probably be done at present, but I presume that ample opportunity will be given on his arrival."
