June 22, 1813.
Dear Sir,—I send you a
corrected
copy of the lines with several
important
alterations,—so many that this had better be sent for proof rather than subject the other to so many blots.
You will excuse the eternal trouble I inflict upon you. As you will see, I have attended to your Criticism, and softened a passage you proscribed this morning.
Yours veritably, B.
