Sth Molton Street [26] <27> April 1804
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
Dear Sir
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
I have at length seen Mr Hoare after having repeatedly calld
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
on him every day & not finding him,--I now understand that he
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
recievd your reply to P's Proposal at Brighton where he has a
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
residence. from whence he sent it to London to Mr Phillips.
he
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
has not seen P. since his return & therefore cannot tell me how
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
he understood your Answer. Mr H. appears to me to consider it
as
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
a rejection of the Proposal altogether I took the liberty to
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
tell him. that I could not consider it so. but that as I
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
understood you, You had accepted the spirit of P's intention
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
which was to leave the whole conduct of the affair to you & that
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
you had accordingly nominated one of your Friends & agreed to
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
nominate others. but if P. meant that you should yourself take on
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
you the drudgery of the ordinary business of a Review his
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
Proposal was by no means a generous one--Mr H. has promised
to
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
see Mr Phillips immediately & to know what his intentions
are.
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
but he says. Perhaps Mr P. may not yet have seen your letter
to
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
him. & that his multiplicity of business may very well account
L43.1Hayley4'04; E747|
for the delay
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
I have seen our Excellent Flaxman lately he is well in
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
health but has had such a burn on his hand as you had once which
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
has hinderd his working for a fortnight, it is now better. he
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
desires to be most affectionately rememberd to you had begun a
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
letter to you a week ago perhaps by this time you have recievd it
L43.2Haley4'04; E747|
but he is also a laborious votary of Endless Work. Engraving is
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
of so slow Process I must beg of you to give me the earliest
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
possible notice of what Engraving is to be done for. The Life of
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
Romney Endless Work is the true title of Engraving as I find by
L43.2Hayley4'04; E747|
the things I have in hand day & night
L43.3Hayley4'04; E747|
We feel much easier to hear that you have parted with your
L43.3Hayley4'04; E747|
Horse hope soon to hear that you have got a living one of brass a
L43.3Hayley4'04; E747|
pegasus of Corinthian
L43.3Hayley4'04; E748|
metal & that Miss Poole is again in such health as when she first
L43.3Hayley4'04; E748|
mounted me on my belov<e>d Bruno
L43.4Hayley4'04; E748|
I forgot to mention that Mr Hoare desires his most
L43.4Hayley4'04; E748|
respectful Compliments to you. Speaks of taking a ride across
L43.4Hayley4'04; E748|
the country to Felpham as he always keeps a Horse at Brighton
L43.5Hayley4'04; E748|
My wife joins me in love to you
L43.5Hayley4'04; E748|
I remain Yours Sincerely
