The introduction to the letters treats of the correspondence preserved at the Universtity Library in Poznań. It describes briefly Julia Dickstein-Wieleżyńska’s work and life and her relationship with Adolf Chybiński, the eminent musicologist, Mieczysław Karłowicz’s friend, and the author of the monograph “Mieczysław Karłowicz (1876–1909). Chronicle of the Artist’s and Mountaineer’s Life (Mieczysław Karłowicz <1876–1909>. Kronika życia artysty i taternika).” The mentioned correspondence is particularly valuable not only for the knowledge about the famous composer Mieczysław Karłowicz and many legends and uncertainties surrounding this person, but also for the knowledge about Julia Dickstein-Wieleżyńska, a poetess, suffragist, literary critic, and translator who knew twelve languages, barely known to date.
