Evidence:
Elizabeth Carter to Catherine Talbot, 23 June 1752: 'I am heartily sorry, my dear Miss Talbot, to find by to-day's Paper that your apprehensions were too well grounded. The loss of so great and good a man, in such a rank [Bishop of Durham], is a general misfortune, but I cannot help finding myself particularly interested in it, as it so immediately affects those for whose happiness I have such uncommon reason to be solicitous.'
