• The William Asbury Whitaker Papers (#3433) contains eight Charles Dickens letters. The Rare Book Collection has a substantial collection of Dickens publications as well as a poster of the same scene depicted in the carte-de-visite transferred from Rare Books.

The collection includes 15 letters to Edward J. Fraser and two letters to Dickens, dating 1860-1861. Also present are two undated announcements (apparently written by Dickens) relating to a John Pyke Hullah and one picture, a 1867 carte-de-visite of the cast of Louis Lequel's No Thoroughfare.
