“…wherever a man goes…”
I don’t have an image of this, but Fordyce Barker wrote in a letter to a colleague in 1851, “A man must make an opening for himself, wherever he goes.” I am assuming that he likely would have said something to Sims, as well, particularly as Sims had arrived in New York in an attempt to do just that.
Barker’s letter is held in the special collections department of the New York Public Library.
