L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
To William Hayley Esqre
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
16 March 1804
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
Dear Sir
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
According to your Desire I send proofs of the Monumental
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
Plates. tho' as you will percieve they have not the last
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
touches. especially the Plate of the Monument which I have drawn
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
from Mr Flaxmans Model with all the fidelity I could & will
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
finish with equal care. the writing being exactly copied from the
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
tracing paper which was traced on the marble--The inscriptions to
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
the Plates. I must beg of you to send to me that I may Engrave
L38.1Hayley3'04; E743|
them immediately.
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
The drawing of the Monument which Mr Johnson sent has the
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
following Inscription--"Monument Erected to the Memory of William
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
Cowper Esqre in St Edmunds Chapel. East Dereham by
the Lady
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
Hesketh 1803"--But it strikes me that. St Edmunds Chapel East
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
Dereham may be understood to mean a Chapel in East Dereham
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
Town. & not to Express sufficiently, that the Monument
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
is in East Dereham Church. Owing to my determination of
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
sending you Proofs I have not been able to consult Mr Flaxman
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
about the Designs of Mr Romney which are at Saunders's. I calld
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
once o[n] Mr F. but he was not at home so could not spare more
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
time but will now immediately proceed in that business. The
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
Pleasure I recievd from your kind Letter ought to make me
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
assiduous & it does so. That Mr John Romney is so honest
as to
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
expose to you his whole absurd prejudice. gives hopes that he may
L38.2Hayley3'04; E743|
prove
L38.2Hayley3'04; E744|
worthy of his father & that he should tell such inconsistent
L38.2Hayley3'04; E744|
surmizes proves that they will soon be eradicated & forgotten
L38.2Hayley3'04; E744|
You who was his fathers best friend will I hope become the most
L38.2Hayley3'04; E744|
respected object of his love & admiration
L38.3Hayley3'04; E744|
I calld on Mr Hoare with your Elegant & Heart lifting
L38.3Hayley3'04; E744|
Compliment. he was not at home-- I left it with a short note.
L38.3Hayley3'04; E744|
have not seen him since--
L38.4Hayley3'04; E744|
Mr Rose I am happy to hear is getting quite well. Hope to
L38.4Hayley3'04; E744|
hear the same good account of our most admirable & always
L38.4Hayley3'04; E744|
anxiously rememberd Miss Poole
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
Mr Braithwaite calld on me & brought two Prints which he
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
desires may be sent to you (with His Compliments.) (which you
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
will find inclosed) one is a copy from that Miniature; you kindly
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
sufferd me to make, from the Picture of Romney which I am now
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
Engraving: & which was lent by Mr Long for the purpose of
being
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
Engraved for the European Mag/ne The other is Mrs Siddons from
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
the Picture by Romney in Mr Braithwaites possession but as much
L38.5Hayley3'04; E744|
unlike the original as possible
L38.6Hayley3'04; E744|
My Wife joins me in best affections to you
L38.6Hayley3'04; E744|
& I remain Sincerely Yours
L38.6Hayley3'04; E744|
