Letter from Charles Dickens, Halifax, Yorkshire, to Albert Richard Smith, 1858 September 16 by Charles Dickens PDF Summary

Book Description: Relating two "whimsical anecdotes...which you won't find in the Newspapers;" telling him that he had heard that "...Ingram was going about town declaring like a madman as to his wildness and ferocity, that there was not a penny to be got out of the London Journal by anybody but the Paper-Maker, and that he (Ingram) would never be safe from ruin; until he had got rid of 'the whole gang of bluid-soockers, beginning with ' - O! whom do you think? - Mark Lemon'!!!;" relating a letter from his son, Frank Dickens, who wrote to him from the boat he was taking to a school in Hamburg, describing his time with the Captain when the person who was supposed to meet him at the boat did not turn up; saying that since the letter arrived "...he has never been heard of. My own impression is, that he will sail backwards and forwards in the John Bull, like a Young Flying Dutchman, for many years, and will vainly try, until he arrives at a green old age, to get to School. Either this will happen, or a fraudulent and ill-conducted school will kidnap him on false pretences, or he will work out the usual story-book career by entering Hamburg without any boots, selling matches in the streets, gradually realizing an enormous fortune, and finally laying it out in endowing an establishment for 80 one-eyed old men with wooden legs, who will never get anything that he bequeaths to them, but will be pillaged by fifteen trustees in the Banking and Legal lines of life who will live and die in great esteem on the plunder;" adding a line of Chinese characters and asking "Do you understand the following Chinese sentence yet? It is a poetical idea, I think, and very expressive of the general virtues of the Tea Plant. Is it really in the works of their great poet;" adding three additional Chinese characters; wishing him a happy trip back to England.
