Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 22 April 1752: 'I thank you for your offer of sending me Miss Mulso's verses, Mr Richardson has been so good as to shew them to me. I admire her and them as I ought, and indeed from all I have heard of her character, or seen of her writing, I love and esteem her much.'
[Thomas Edwards to Samuel Richardson, 28 February 1752:] 'I often entertain myself with reading over those charming Odes of Miss Mulso's, and admire them more and more every time I read them. I am so proud of the honour she has done me in one of them, that my gratitude has forced from me another sonnet [...] which I desire you to give her.'
[Thomas Edwards to Samuel Richardson, 5 March 1753:] 'I am much obliged to you for the sonnet; it is very pretty'.
