Hood I am a DT member.
Capt Stubbing try ANY of Eric Browns or the RAF's evaluations of the 109. There are numerous discussions of all 109 variants and elevator pressures and pitch response.
Get a copy of Wings of the Luftwaffe by Eric Brown or Augsberg Eagle by William Green which contains numerous reproductions of RAF evaluations.
Another good source is Peter Caygill's "Flying to the limit Testing World War II Single engine fighter aircraft". Messerschmitt BF109 at war by Armand van Ishoven also contains large junks of RAF evaluation reports describing BF109 control forces etc. Just about every single evaluation of the 109 makes reference to heavy elevator loads.
