Rh excited your admiration; and I know that you are bound to it in mind by a still-strengthening attachment.

Wishing and hoping that this Work, with the embellishments it has received from your Pencil, may survive as a lasting memorial of a friendship, which I reckon among the blessings of my life,

My dear Sir George,

Yours most affectionately

and faithfully,

WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.

Rydal Mount, Westmoreland,

February 1, 1815.
