... got a chance to speak with her. In addition, Dickinson kept up a voluminous correspondence with friends, family, and one of her spiritual mentors, Minister Charles Wadsworth. Although it has long been believed that various correspondents, including Higginson and editor Samuel Bowles, served as literary guides, there is no evidence that they influenced her writing. Now, biographers are increasingly recognizing the vital role of Dickinson’s sister-in-law Susan Dickinson in her writing.
