   1856.

Dear Sir
  In reply to your obliging letter, I beg to assure you that I have not the slightest reason to suppose that Andersen is coming to England at all, otherwise than that I have seen it stated in some newspapers that he is coming on a visit to me. I have not heard from him these six months, and, when he last spoke, he certainly had no more idea of visiting London than of going to the Antipodes.
   Faithfully Yours
  Charles Dickens
