Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 24 March 1842: 'Richardson's correspondence has charmed me -- "charming" being the right word, since I verily & indeed believed myself wrapt up close in the domestic brocades of the Harlowe family, all the time I spent in reading it. His own letters are letters out of his romances to the very crossing of the t[']s [...] Lady Bradleigh [sic] is delightful -- -- I don't wonder that he tired himself with pacing up & down Hyde Park in his desire to catch a glimpse of her! [...] I read that volume with quite a romance-palpitation. Thank you, thank you for telling me of the book'.
