In this 1842 April 30 letter, Dickens writes to Asbury Dickins to thank him for his help in arranging a meeting with President Tyler. He also writes that both he and Mrs. Dickens have safely reached Niagara Falls, where the letter was written. On the topic of their similar names, Dickens writes "I say that you can't be a relation, however distant. If you were we never could have been, instinctively, on such good terms."
