Letter from Mary Delany to Ann [Granville] Dewes, 25th January 1746
On Tuesday last I went to hear Deborah performed, for the support of one of the infirmaries. It is a charming piece of music, and was extremely well performed; we have a woman here, a Mrs. Storer, who has a very sweet and clear voice, and though she has no judgment in music, Dubourg manages her so well in his manner of accompanying her, as to make her singing very agreeable.
