Mary Russell Mitford : "The Widow's Dog"
Mary Hunter (aged 10) to Elizabeth Barrett, quoted in letter of Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 2 May 1837: '"I read today in a magazine a tale of Miss Mitford's about the widow's dog Chloe who was very faithful and would go back to the widow's house. If you do not know the story, I dare say she will tell it to you. I should like to know Miss Mitford very much -- for her writings are [italics]so[end italics] beautiful & affectionate, -- and I think she would not dislike children."'
