George Gordon Lord Byron : Cain
Harriet Countess Granville to her sister, Lady Georgiana Morpeth, 1 January 1822: 'I think "Cain" most wicked, but not without feeling or passion. Parts of it are magnificent, and the effect of Granville [husband] reading it out loud to me was that I roared [i.e. wept] till I could neither hear nor see. The scene, too, in "Sardanapalus" where Myrrha says "Oh, frown not on me," and the speech, "Why do I love this man?" I think beautiful and affecting.'

Harriet Countess Granville to her sister, Lady Georgiana Morpeth, from The Hague, 22 April 1824: 'Here is again the most delicious spring weather. I wish you could see us in my little boudoir, the window open, Granville [husband] reading the French papers in the green armchair you may remember in Bruton Street.'

?Pierson :
Harriet, Countess Granville, to her sister, Lady Carlisle, 4 September 1834: 'Our host at the inn at Avignon, a poet and a very gentlemanlike man, gave me the enclosed translation.
