| Evidence: | 'Mr Hope' to Mary Berry: 'Your preface [to her edition of the Letters of Madame du Deffand] I devoured the moment I got it. I have since not [italics]despatched[end italics], but finished your life [of Madame du Deffand], with the highest relish for its ease of style [...] I now feast upon your notes, and a delightful treat they are [...] No matter what, I read all out to Louisa, who owes you the whole of the few moments of enjoyment she feels at this period of anxious expectation'. |
