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|        WILL BLAKE
