Summary
Thanking him for sending copies of Andersen's new book in English; awaiting an English announcement for the book "that here in Denmark is estimated as high as my fairy-tales"; expressing pleasure at the language but noting mistranslations and omissions; expressing displeasure at the English title chosen for the book; asking for a promised copy of the book to be sent to a Hubert Smith in Shropshire; hoping to see a review of his book in The Athenaeum magazine; sending to Charles Dickens his pleasure from "Bleak House"; commenting on the weather in Denmark.
