Rh ,

HIS Letter comes to your Lordship, accompany'd with a small Writing intitled : for such alone can that Piece deservedly be call'd, which aspires no higher than to the forming of a Project, and that too in so vulgar a Science as Painting. But whatever the Subject be, if it can prove any way entertaining to you, it will sufficiently answer my Design. And if possibly it may have that good success, I shou'd have no ordinary opinion of my Project; since I know how hard it wou'd be to give your Lordship a real Entertainment of any thing which was not in some respect; worthy and useful.
