As time went on the novelist momand more recognised the entire fidelity of his subordinate, and in these letters, which begin, in 1848 and end in 1870, we ind a constant increase in friend- ship and familiarity.
The correspondence forms a very strange collection. Most of it is, of course, devoted to literary matters, but Dickens seams to have led a way of making Wills perform a great many miscellaneous commissions.

Considering the in- petuos ty with which he throws himself into every trifle, one is surprised, not at his comparatively early death, but at the robustness of constitution which enabled him to survive so long. 815 He is extraordinarily fussy; curiously in- tolerant of the literary methods of others, yet generously appreciative of all kinds of talent determined to have his own way in the minutest particulars; and not un commonly downright ungrateful for faithful and intelligent service..
