DICKENS LETTERS
SIR,—In 1962, the 150th anniversary of the novelist's birth, will be published the first volume of the Pil- grim Edition of the Letters of Charles Dickens. This is intended to be the definitive edition, printing some 11,000 letters, with full annotation, in ten volumes, which will be published during the en- suing eight or nine years.
Before sending volume one to the printers, the editors are making a final appeal in many countries, inviting librarians and owners of private collections to send them particulars of any autograph manu- scripts of Dickens letters in their possession. Any- one who can help in this way, and who has not already done so, is asked lo write to the under- signed. Full acknowledgment will of course be given, in the published volumes, for any such. kindness.
