180. Robert Bloomfield to Mary Lloyd
Baker, 13 March 1806*
To Mrs L Baker
City Road. London. Mar 13 1806
Madam
Your letter received this morning contains a request which you
will find that I have complied with as to the accompanying Books. Soon after I
wrote my last I had the satisfaction to recieve from Clare Hall a very flattering reply, in
return for my Budget, and containing a kind of critical review of the pieces
which I assure you I prize highly. I send again to Miss Sharp a Dozn Boks tomorrow. I must be at the fashionable end of London early
tomorrow, and really can not tell whither Saturday will induce me to stretch to
Fullham.
I am tolerably well: I only mean that having sufferd pain from
the Rhumatism makes me shy of such weather as we have now. Next week may be more
congenial to my feelings, for the Sun, when the north wind subsides, has
considerable power in the middle of March. Thank you for your interest in my
favour, but let me beg that you would not under the idea of serving me engage to
cleare my shelf of Books and thereby encumber yourself.
With all due Respects
I am madam yours truly
Rob Bloomfield
Address: Mrs L Baker
