Felicia Hemans to William Blackwood, 13 June 1827: 'I beg to thank you for your obliging letter and valuable present of books, from the perusal of which I have derived great pleasure.

Elizabeth Barrett to Mary Russell Mitford, 27 December 1843:
'Although not agreeing with you that the poetry of Caroline Bowles (the Birthday & the minor
verses) is "meretricious," -- nay, seeming to see in it much tender simplicity, freshness &
moral sweetness, I do not class it or herself highly as poet & poetry, & am aware of the
feebleness essentially, -- the want of reach of mind & imagination [goes on to comment upon
specific passages of The Birth-Day].'
