Summary
Sending him letters from James Thomas Fields, Richard Grant White, and Cornelius Conway Felton; asking him to discuss the "American proposal" [a proposal for an American tour] with Thomas Coke Evans; noting, "I have a very grave question within myself, whether I could (for a private reason, rendering a long Voyage and absence particularly painful to me), go to America at all"; saying that he has told the Americans that the "business arrangements of the Readings" are in Smith's hands.
