P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 301
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Without the elements which I possess for business, as well as my knowledge of human nature, acquired in catering for the public, the result of her concerts here would not have been pecuniarily one half as much as at present--and such men as the Hon. Edward Everett, G. G. Howland, and others will tell you that there is no charlatanism or lack of dignity in my management of these concerts. I know as well as any person that the merits of Jenny Lind are the best capital to depend upon to secure public favor, and I have thus far acted on this knowledge. Everything which money and attention can procure for their comfort, they have, and I am glad to know that they are satisfied on this score. All I fear is, that these continual backbitings, if listened to by her, will, by and by, produce a feeling of distrust or regret, which will lead to unpleasant results.

白话
巴纳姆强调，没有他的商业手腕和对人性的了解，林德音乐会的收入连现在一半都不到。他请有声望的人作证，自己的管理并不低俗，也不失尊严。他清楚林德的艺术才是吸引观众的根本，所以一直把资源花在提升她的舒适和体验上。他担心的是，如果林德听信谗言，迟早会产生不信任，导致合作破裂。做法是既展示自己的价值，又尊重对方的核心地位，并提前防范关系风险。
上下文
巴纳姆在信中继续向朋友解释自己为巡演付出的商业努力，并回应外界对他“马戏班老板”身份的轻视。
