Excerpt from Dick Cheveley: His Adventures and Misadventures My young correspondent, in perfect honesty, asked me to tell him how he could best manage to run away to sea. I advised him, as Mr. Richard Cheveley would have done, and I am happy to say that he wisely followed my advice, for I have since frequently heard from him. When he first wrote he was an entire stranger to me. He has had more to do with this work than he supposes. I have the pleasure of dedicating it to him.
