| Evidence: | [Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 1 September 1762:]
'Thank my stars, I have torn it this minute all to bits! What? Why a reflection upon the Vision, but that was of a kind I will not suffer myself to write [...]
'I am enclosing back the Vision the very night I received it, to prevent all temptations to dishonesty or carelessness; 'tis certainly very elegant.' |
