DEAR Sir—It is so long since I have seen or heard
                                    from you, that I fear that you will consider a request I have to make as
                                    impertinent. About three years since, when I was one day at Bristol, I made an
                                    effort to see you, but you were from home. The request I have to make is, that
                                    you would very much oblige me, if you have any small portrait of yourself, by
                                    allowing me to have it copied, to accompany a selection of “Likenesses of
                                    Living Bards”
