There is a considerable literature on the identity of Carlyle’s ‘Blumine’ and ‘The Rose Goddess’. See G. Strachey, ‘Carlyle and the Rose Goddess’, in
Nineteenth Century
, Vol. 32, July- December 1892, pp.470-86; J.J. Cotton, ‘Kitty Kirkpatrick’, in
Calcutta Review
, Vol. CCXVI, April 1899, pp236-48; and the follow-up in Vol. CCIXX, December 1899, J.J. Cotton, ‘Kitty Kirkpatrick and Blumine’, pp.128-35; Henry Strachey, ‘Carlyle’s First Love’,
Spectator
, CIII, 9 October 1909, pp.559-60. See also Lady Russell,
The Rose Goddess
… , op. cit., pp.1-18. Other candidates for Blumine include Margaret Gordon and Carlyle’s wife, Jane Welsh. See C.F. Harrold (ed.),
Carlyle’s Sartor Resartus
(New York, 1937), pp.37-8.

How he did this is unclear, and Kitty tried to find out by writing to a contact in the Hyderabad Residency. Russell did not give her the picture immediately, but later left it to her in his will, much to the annoyance of his own family. See letter of Henry Russell to William Palmer in Bodleian Library, Russell Papers, Mss Eng Letts C174, 2 October 1841, p.147. This letter contradicts the later and inaccurate account given by Lady Russell in
The Rose Goddess
… , op. cit., p.1, where Kitty is said to have first visited Swallowfield in the company of a Mrs Clive in the summer of 1846-although there may of course have been two different visits to Swallowfield.

The best account of Palmer’s bank, and Russell’s secret involvement with it, can be found in Peter Wood’s remarkable thesis ‘Vassal State in the Shadow of Empire’, op. cit., pp.348-61. For Russell bribing the printers of the
Hyderabad Papers
see ibid., p.357. See also the good short account given in Hawes, op. cit., pp.101-9.

The letter, which is undated but must presumably be 1841, survives in the private archive of their descendants. The original is in Persian, and Captain D.C. Malcolm’s slightly inaccurate translation is attached to it.
