My Dear Nancy has read your life of Milton to her \old/ Sculptor, we think it a Beautiful Portrait of his the talents and Virtues, an energetic display of the Bard who stands foremost \next/ to the Inspired Writers and the Spirited defence of Genius, against the sly gibes and open fury of inflated Malevolence.
The figure of Collins at large as well as Love & Pity have had the good fortune to please Fuseli, Romney Stothard, Locke &c we are now cutting out the marble in which those parts are to be executed
We are all delighted in your Poetical employments and wish we could assist your labours My Nancy unites in every good wish particularly that you may long enjoy a Happy Retirement, Fame and the progress of affection and Excellence in your Good Boy
I have the honour to remain
Dear & Kind Friend
your Affectionate Servant
