*Dickens (Charles, 1812-1870). Autograph letter signed, 'Charles Dickens', Gad's Hill Place, Higham by Rochester, Kent, Saturday, 7 January 1865, to Mrs Collinson, in full, 'I hope you will excuse my having detained your MS a little longer than I might have done at another time of the year, and when less occupied with a book of my own [Our Mutual Friend was published as a monthly serial between May 1864 and November 1865]. It has received - as I hope I need not assure you - my most careful attention and consideration. The result is that I feel thoroughly convinced it would not bear division into portions for periodical publication. It is not strong enough or various enough to stand that severe test and carry the reader on. As a domestic story, with a plain good purpose, not much change of scene, and no great force of incident, it must be read complete. I think in that entire form it would achieve a fair success, and I recognize in the heroine many of those delicate womanly touches of character in which you excel. But I have not the slightest doubt that it would fall flat and fail, if it were published in serial chapters. It shall be packed in a convenient parcel at the office, and sent to you on Monday. I am more disappointed in not being able to accept it than I trust you may be for the receipt of this note', written in blue ink on rectos of a black-edged letterhead bifolium, central vertical brown streak to all pages not affecting legibility, 2 pp., 8vo, together with an earlier autograph letter from Dickens on Gad's Hill Place letterhead, 6 October 1862, presumed to the same recipient, beginning 'I have read your pretty story with very great pleasure, and shall be happy to retain it for the Christmas No. of All The Year Round, if you will give me your free permission to condense it a little, and to alter some of the dialogue. You may be quite sure that I will touch it with a delicate and sympathetic hand...', one and a third pages, written in blue ink to rectos with the lower two-thirds of the second leaf containing sentiment, signature and recipient's name cut away and now missing, 8vo Mrs Julia Cecilia Collinson Stretton (1812-1878) is known to have published two stories in the Christmas Number of All The Year Round, published in December 1862, namely 'His Portmanteau' and 'Hat-Box'. It is to one of these two stories that the second letter is presumed to refer. Mrs Collinson published a number of triple-decker novels with Hurst and Blackett between 1855 and 1869. It seems likely that the book Dickens rejected in the 1865 letter here was 'The Pemberton Family' published by Hurst and Blackett during 1865. (2)
