L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        Dear Sir
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        Mr Cromek the Engraver came to me desiring to have some of

L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        Illustrations of The Grave A Poem by Robert Blair. in consequence
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        of this I produced about twenty Designs which pleasd so well that
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        he with the same liberality with which he set me about the
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        Drawings. has now set me to Engrave them. He means to Publish
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        them by Subscription. with the Poem as you will see in the
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        Prospectus which he sends you in the same Pacquet with the

L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        approved by the best that is the most Serious people. & if any
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        others are displeasd it is also an Argument of their being
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        successful as well as Right. of which I have no Doubt for what is
L60.1Hayley11'05; E766|        Good must Succeed first or last but what is bad owes success to
