George Eliot to Barbara Leigh Smith Bodichon, 17 September 1859. “I have just been reading, with deep interest and heart-stirring, the article on the Infant Seamstresses in the Englishwoman's Journal. If, as I imagine, Bessie is the writer, just say to her when you happen to be writing to her or seeing her, that I am one among the grateful readers of that moving description -- moving because the writer's own soul was moved by love and pity in the writing of it. These are the papers that will make the Journal a true organ, with a function.” GEL 3: 153
