Not identified. In 1880, W. lrwin, Esq., submitted to A.Y.R. some papers that Charles Dickens, Jr., did not find suited to the requirements of the periodical. In his letter of rejection, Aug. 23, Dickens stated that he was returning the papers (subject not mentioned) "together with Mr. Wills's letters" (A.Y.R. Letter-Book). The reference to Wills may indicate that W. Irwin had had some association with Wills during Wills's subeditorship of H.W. or A.Y.R.
