Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 22 July 1843: 'Mr Borrow [italics]is[end italics] a very original & characteristic writer -- I was delighted with his book [...] the Bible Society committee was not satisfied with him. They call him wild I believe & wanting in gravity [...] but I admire Mr Borrow, & like him all the better for putting off the conventional demureness of a pattern missionary, & daring to be a [italics]man[end italics] in spirit & in truth.'
