Autograph letter signed : to Thomas Robinson, 1742 December18.

Saying that she is glad to hear of his safe arrival in Sussex and that he is well placed with the "noble family of Richmond"; writing "Sir Thomas Robinson writes me word that you are very pretty which has raised my curiosity to a great pitch & it makes me long to see you"; saying that she hears that "the acting poetaster is with you still, at Goodwood" and that he has had "the insolence to brag of favours from me"; adding that, persuaded and assisted by Mr. Swiny (possibly Owen McSwiny), she responded to him; referring to the fact that the "poetaster" burned her letter and claimed that "there were expressions too tender & passionate in it to be shewn"; explaining that she had complimented both herself and him "on the successe we shared mutually, on his first appearance, on the Stage and that which he had (all to himselfe) in the part of Carlos in Love Makes a Man"; adding that he must have learned his graceful movements from his apprenticeship in "spreading plaisters"; saying that she is playing the part of Sir Harry Wildair [in George Farquhar's The Constant Couple] that evening.
