Evidence: | Anne Damer, travelling in France, to Mary Berry, 24 April 1791, on encounter with de Broc, the mayor of Bayonne, 'the most ridiculous [italics]personage[end italics] that can be imagined [...] round, fat, with the tightest silk dress, not a tooth [...] and the voice of a frog [...] Before the visit was over we were such friends that he gave me some of his [italics]verses[end italics] on [italics]C. Fox[end italics], and if there is a corner in this letter, I must send them to you, for I was [italics]delighted[end italics] and desired to have them [four-line French verse, "A L'Orateur Fox," follows as postscript].' |
