[Miss] J. Collier to Samuel Richardson, 4 October 1748: 'I have been further considering of that part in Mrs Fielding's proof, which relates to Mrs. Teachum's method of punishing her scholars; and give me leave to tell you my reasons for thinking it rather better to remain as she has left it, than to have it altered even as [italics]you[end italics] proposed [goes on to discuss treatment of theme of punishment in text in detail].'
