“Fredericton Fashionables”, January 1834: “We are gay here in wintertime and as for sleighing and driving there is no end of it. Mrs. Coster, the Archdeacon’s wife, gave me a picture the other day representing the “Fredericton Fashionables”. It will give you an admirable idea of our amusements here and of the style of my fellow townsmen.” (Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, P5/222).
