Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 14 September 1842:
'Will Mrs Partridge receive the expression of my earnest thoughts for her happiness? [...] But I
never had the pleasure of seeing Mr Partridge on either side the Alps -- never alas! WAS on
any side but one [...] I read in the paper lately that Elizabeth Barrett was reprieved from
capital punishment. So "we are [italics]three[end italics]" -- or were at least.'

Source eds note that the Morning Chronicle of 20 August reported reprieve in sentence of Elizabeth Barrett, tried at Chester, for murder of her 9-month-old child (see p.78 n.11). In p.78 n.12 source eds suggest that third Elizabeth Barrett referred to possibly a geranium that Mitford had named after the author. |
