Charlotte Bronte to Elizabeth Gaskell, 26 April 1852:
'I have lately got hold of a bound copy of Dickens's "Household Words" for 1851. Therein, I
have, as yet, only read three articles — to wit, "Society at Cranford," "Love at Cranford,"
"Memory at Cranford." Before reading them I had received a hint as to the authorship, which
hint gave them special zest. The best is the last — Memory. How good I thought it — I must
not tell you.'
