Mrs. Thrale, as usual, held an opinion opposite to Boswell’s, as she writes to Johnson:
" Yesterday's evening was passed at Mrs. Montagu's: there was Mr. Melmoth ; I do not like him though, nor he me; it was expected we should have pleased each other ; he is, however, just Tory enough to hate the Bishop of Peterborough [Dr. John Hinchliffe] for Whiggism, and Whig enough to abhor you for Toryism.”
Johnson wrote back to her: “From the author of Fitzosborne's Letters, I cannot think myself in much danger. I met him only once about thirty years ago, and in some small dispute reduced him to whistle; having not seen him since, that is the last impression.”
