8 April 1750 Leprince de Beaumont went to Montagu's salon, where she also met Anne-Marie du Boccage, who noted it in her Lettres anglaises (Robain, Mme Leprince de Beaumont intime, 2004, p. 45)
Riccoboni and Montagu might have been in contact through David Garrick with whom both had frequent correspondence. (to be researched)
