Mary Russell Mitford to Lucy Olivia Anderson, 12 January 1842: 'In reading "Tom Cringle's Log" to my father, the other day, I find that Mr Scott, the author, speaks of the Speaker of the House of Assembly in Jamaica as the handsomest and most agreeable man in the island. Now, he must have been Miss [Elizabeth] Barrett's uncle, who held that station for very many years before his death, which occurred two or three years ago'.
