| Evidence: | [Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 27 November 1759:]
'The book you enquire after is "The History of some of the Penitents in the Magdalen House." I think that is the title of the very pretty book we have been reading. I know not who writ it, but it is at least a very good likeness of Mrs Fielding.' |
