Charlotte Bronte to Mrs C[atherine]. F. G. Gore, 27 August 1850:
'The book had for me its own peculiar value as a work often heard of and long wished for: I have now read it; it has given me much pleasure [...] I knew nothing of the circles you describe before I read "The Hamiltons," but feel I do know something of them now.'
