it is stated that:

"In 1842 the British author Charles Dickens called upon Tyler in the White House, writing that "he looked somewhat worn and anxious, and well he might; being at war with everybody - but the expression of his face was mild and pleasant, and his manner was remarkably unaffected, gentlemanly, and agreeable. I thought that in his whole carriage and demeanour, he became his station singularly well....""

i would ask John Tyler what he thought of Charles Dickens. what an interesting person to meet.
