Excerpt from Of Many Men

Dear sir: I certainly feel much interested in your proposed efforts to induce Mr. Charles Dickens to visit this country again, and to give to our people in this country an Opportunity of hearing his readings. Having myself recently heard him in London, I cannot doubt that he would meet with great success here should he come.

It may be supposed that the American people have some Old grievances to settle with that gentleman relating to his remarks upon them many years ago. I do not for a moment believe there is at this late and more intelligent day any prejudice existing that need cause the slightest ap prehension on that score, and Shall be glad to know that Mr. Dickens is to return to us.
