B to R 16 April (B, VI, 106-109, 110-116).

The letter Mrs. Barbauld printed between Lady Bradshaigh's 29 March and 16 April letters, (B, VI, 101-109), is a terribly confused composite of three letters. One long paragraph, (B, VI, 106-108), which deals with a young woman forced into marriage, and the two paragraphs following it belong with Lady Bradshaigh's letter of 16 April. She first tells Richardson of the young woman on 8 April in her dated postscript. Her letter of 16 April, as it is printed by Mrs. Barbauld, discusses various characters in Grandison, but it makes no mention of the young woman. In her next letter, that of May-June, she again writes of the young woman and says, "She [Lady Bradshaigh's niece] is well acquainted with the sad story related to you in my two last" (B, VI, 126-127). And she then goes on to discuss the story in greater detail. The young woman story, (B, VI, 106-108), first related to Richardson on 8 April must, therefore, belong with Lady Bradshaigh's letter of 16 April.

The two paragraphs following the young woman story also seem to belong with the 16 April letter. The only other possibilities are the Late May-June or the 3 Jan. 1752 letter, and neither of those seem likely. The first of

those paragraphs deal with Richardson's Rambler, no. 97, which appeared on 19 February. Lady Bradshaigh had just encountered "a very sensible lady" who "happened to be in town when it was published" and was "greatly pleased" with it. Considering that the previous paragraph had come from the letter of 16 April, considering that the "sensible lady" would have been telling Lady Bradshaigh about a 19 February Rambler in April far more likely than she would have been in late May, early June, or January of the following year, and considering that the lengthy B, VI, 101-109 ends with the words "I find I have finished two sheets, and positively I will not begin another," thereby making B, VI, 101-105 with the addition of B, VI, 108 too long, one can conclude that the passage on the Rambler of 19 Feb. belongs with the 16 April letter. The following paragraph, for some of the same reasons and the fact that it deals with Lady Bradshaigh's Magdalen, for whom she has finally found a "place," is probably placed in the 16 April letter and certainly placed before late May, June, or the following January.
