Poster promoting a reading by Dickens inNottingham dated 4 February 1869, two months before he suffered a mild stroke.
During his travels, he saw a significant change in the people and the circumstances of America. His final appearance was at a banquet the American Press held in his honour at Delmonicos on 18 April, when he promised never to denounce America again.

On 23 April, he boarded his ship to return to Britain, barely escaping a Federal Tax Lien against the proceeds of his lecture tour.
