“Letters on Mesmerism' in the Athenaeum and Life in the Sickroom”

Harriet Martineau (1802–1876) · Nov–Dec 1844

InferredFuller asks Anna Loring what Harriet Martineau (1802–1876) is 'writing' and wants to 'join my voice to the jubilee of her friends' — the 'jubilee' likely refers to Martineau's remarkable recovery from illness through mesmerism in 1844, which caused a great sensation in Britain.
