Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 28 January 1845: 'I have seen a page of the Lancet (which Nelly Bordman sent me), with extracts from the abominable "case". It is plain enough from the extracts printed by Mr Greenhough in a letter to the Chronicle yesterday, from H. Martineau's notes to him, that she understood & was ready to permit a [italics]partial[end italics] publication. But what she did [italics]not[end italics] expect, was an independent pamphlet filled with the most offensive details possible. Could any woman [...] have expected patiently such a disclosure, so made?'
