47. Robert Bloomfield to Thomas
Park, 3 December 1800*
Wedn. Dec 3d 1800
Sir
I have this instant received the enclosed letter. I hope this
seeming termination of the affair will be received by my friends as by myself,
with a conviction of its being infinitely Better than giving to the lawyers the
produce of the poem, which produce I esteem a testimony of the public in my
favour, and as such should wish to retain it.
Respects to Mrs P and family
Your Obnt
Rob Bloomfield
