Mary Russell Mitford : Our Village

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 9 August 1841: '[Crow] is an excellent young woman -- intelligent bright-tempered & feeling-hearted, -- more to me than a mere servant; since her heart works more than her hand in all she does for me! And her delight in your Village which I gave her to read, was as true a thing as ever was that of readers of higher degree. She says to me that if we go to Reading, she means to visit the Village, and will know every house in it just as if it were an old place to her!'

Century: 1800-1849     Reader/Listener/Group: Miss Crow      Print: Book
