Brief Summary:
Letters from Joel Henrietta (Mendez) Pye to Mr. and Mrs. Garrick, dated 1774-1779
Detailed Summary:
Mrs. Pye seems to have been one of Mrs. Garrick’s consultants on Paris fashions. In her letter to Garrick, no. 34, November 21, 1774, she also comments on the French theatre and opera, Préville and Mlle. Rocourt, her visit to Voltaire who spoke with approval of Garrick’s alteration of Hamlet; she had seen Foote and heard a rumour that Bickerstaffe had brought out a comic opera at Marseilles. In no. 33, September 17, [1776], she writes of having called on Mrs. Montagu. In no. 35, February 8, 1779, she writes on the death of Garrick.
