Mrs Fry : 

Harriet, Countess Granville, to her sister, Lady Carlisle (April 1834): 'The anxiety of the last two months has given me an impossibility of feeling happy [...] The only thing that calms my nerves is sitting at an open window, reading Mrs. Fry or Adams' "Private Thoughts;" but my religion is like my feeling, and I do not find its influence when I have the immediate occupation of it.'
