Letter to Whitelaw Saunders [manuscript], 1919 June 10.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647861178

In a 1919 letter to Whitelaw Saunders, Henry Fielding Dickens encloses a check signed by his father Charles Dickens, and relates an incident at a Christmas party in 1869, in which Charles Dickens recalled the name "Warren's Blacking, 30 Strand." He adds that Dickens' family did not know until much later that Dickens had incorporated his own childhood into his novel David Copperfield and that he had worked at "Warren's Blacking, 30 Strand" as a child.
