- Brief note - "[A note on Tomlin's letter from Charles
Dickens]"
(first printing)
(The article on page 83, "Original Letter from Charles Dickens," begins
with an editorial note, which appears enclosed in square brackets: "FOR
the truly characteristic letter here published, and for the sketch
which
accompanies it, we are indebted to the obliging attention of MR.
JOHN TOMLIN of Tennessee
-- With
our own warm admiration of the writings and character of Dickens we can
well understand and easily pardon the enthusiasm of our friend." This
note
is not mentioned by Heartman and Canny, or by Hull. It is included on a
list by Mabbott in his notes at the University of Iowa, without
explanation.)

Hull.)
