INFLUENCED HIS FUTURE.
• The Frankfurter Zeitung quotes these letters with running comment, but the letters tham selves indicate better than any comment might do the influence of this young woman upon Dickens' future career as a novelist..
The first batch of latters relate themselves to the period of courtship. To one of these Dicken's writes:
4
"! I bave never loved anybody but you, mod I believe I shall over love any other duman being. And this love which I offer you in a pure and as eterdal as our letters will be at any time. My feelings are tuned to but one object, and they will forever rómais as stroag and will endure forever."
Miss Beadnell replied to this letter with cold epistle, as Dickens' himself later called it, and so they parted for twenty-three years.
The second correspondence began in 1855, and was conducted on Dickens side in as bonourable, calmly middle-aged tone. It startal with a letter from Mrs. Winter reminding Dickens of a number of incidents relating to their youthful encounter. To the Ent Dickers replied as follows:
LIKE DAVID.COPPERFIELDTM
"I receive hundreds of letters in all possible bandwritings, all unknown to’me, and, as you may surmise, I have on special interest in these, letters: "As I came home list night a batch of letters were, placed upon my table, I looked at them, thinking by chance 1 might recogniz
