Edward Young to Samuel Richardson, 10 December 1745: 'Caroline [?wife] begs her best requests to Mrs Richardson and yourself, and many thanks for the present I brought her from you. She is far from well, but no symptoms of the disease we would particularly guard against: the disorder hangs chiefly on her spirits; and she told me, after she had dipt into your book, that she fancied flowers and tombs were (tho' seeming so remote) as near in nature, as in that author's composition.'
