Excerpt from The Dickens-Kolle Letters, Vol. 1
It will be remembered that Kolle, in addition to looking after his own interests in wooing a fair member of the Beadnell household, served young Dickens in the capacity of messenger in smuggling his imploring love missives through the parental barriers and into the hands of the coquettish Maria, after Dickens had been debarred from the Beadnell home, and even from communicating with Miss Beadnell through the mail. Nothing could better illustrate the corroborative character of these letters than the quotation appearing on pages 13-15.
Matters of an intimately personal nature which disclose important facts and give a clearer insight into the lives and characters of those who are near and dear to us are always interesting. Perhaps no author excels Dickens in the ever-increasing number of admirers he has made among the lovers of literature; and facts, therefore, which relate to and explain the all-absorbing event of his life, and which, according to his own confession to Mrs. Winter, were the inceptive cause of his famous career, cannot fail to be of interest.
