"Jan. 7. 1814.
"You don't like the dedication--very well; there is another: but
you will send the other to Mr. Moore, that he may know I _had_
written it. I send also mottoes for the cantos. I think you will

docile.
"Yours, BN.
"The _name_ is again altered to _Medora_"[7]
[Footnote 7: It had been at first Genevra,--not Francesca, as Mr. Dallas
asserts.]
