Charlotte Bronte to Ellen Nussey, 5 May 1851:
'I enclose a letter of Mr Morgan's to Papa — written just after he had read "Shirley." It is
curious to see the latent feeling roused in the old gentleman — I was especially struck with his
remark about the chap. entitled "The Valley of the Shadow, &c." he must have had a true
sense of what he read or he could not have made it.'
