Dec. 3, 1813.
My dear Sir,—Look out the Encyclopedia article
Mecca
whether it is there or at
Medina
the Prophet is entombed, if at Medina the first lines of my alteration must run:
Blest as the call which from Medina's dome
Invites Devotion to her Prophet's tomb, etc.
If at "Mecca" the lines may stand as before. Page 45, C°. 2nd,
Bride of Abydos
. Yours, B.
You will find this out either by Article
Mecca, Medina
or
Mahommed
. I have no book of reference by me.
