Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, 27 December 1754: 'I cannot help being so ungenteel as to send you the good wishes of the season, though to any of the fine folks of this town it would certainly be an affront. There was a pretty "World" [No. CIV] on this subject last night, accounting with humour, and also with truth, for the general indistinction of all seasons that prevails.'
