Evidence: | 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."' |
