[To William Hayley]
L41.Hayley4'04; E745|
2 April, 1804
L41.Hayley4'04; E745|
. . . Mr. Flaxman advises that the drawing of Mr. Romney's which
L41.Hayley4'04; E745|
shall be chosen instead of the Witch (if that cannot be
L41.Hayley4'04; E745|
recovered) be Hecate, the figure with the torch and snake, which
L41.Hayley4'04; E745|
he thinks one of the finest drawings. The twelve impressions of
L41.Hayley4'04; E745|
each of the plates which I now send ought to be
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
unrolled immediately that you receive them and put under somewhat
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
to press them flat. You should have had fifteen of each, but I
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
had not paper enough in proper order for printing, There is now
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
in hand a new edition of Flaxman's Homer with additional
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
designs, two of which I am now engraving. I am uneasy at not
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
hearing from Mr. Dally, to whom I inclosed L15 in a letter a
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
fortnight ago, by his desire. I write to him by this post to
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
inquire about it. Money in these times is not to be trifled with.
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
I have now cleared the way to Romney, in whose service I now
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
enter again with great pleasure, and hope soon to show you my
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
zeal with good effect. Am in hopes that Miss Poole is recovered,
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
as you are silent on that most alarming and interesting topic in
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
both your last letters. God be with you in all things. My wife
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
joins me in this prayer.
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
I am, dear Sir,
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
Your sincerely affectionate,
L41.Hayley4'04; E746|
