[Letter to editor on qualities of a gossip]
Pray sir, don't mistake me; I am not about to commend a
gossip for a good historian, but I mean she knows every
thing that is scarce worth knowing, and tells every thing
that should be kept private. She will inform you (whether
you will or no) how many boys and girls were got out of
season at such a husking, after such a wedding, or such a
ball, and who brought forth children at six months and a
fortnight after marriage. . .
