Letter from Mary Collier to her mother, Mary Collier, 5th January 1742
Here is a great deal of feasting about this Christmas. Last Wednsday we were at Mr Coppinger's who are all to be here tomorrow, and Thursday Mr Cole's family were here, where we are to dine a Friday. And last Friday I was at the accademy, where the new year’s ode was performed and a very fine piece of musick. The hogspuddings and sausages are very good, and we are all very fond of them and think they taste a little morish.
