Evidence:

Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 1-3 May 1828: 'Saturday, eight o' clock. Our dinner hour was rather later than usual today [...] we have only just left the table. I find your parcel waiting for me in my room, & hear that your messenger is in eminent [sic] danger of being benighted. Therefore my quick way of reading, which you are so severe upon, has done me some service, in looking over the magazine & your letter [...] The Review is a very satisfactory one to [italics]my[end italics] vanity'.
