"July 11. 1814.
"You shall have one of the pictures. I wish you to send the proof
of 'Lara' to Mr. Moore, 33. Bury Street, _to-night_, as he leaves
town to-morrow, and wishes to see it before he goes[40]; and I am
also willing to have the benefit of his remarks. Yours," &c.
[Footnote 40: In a note which I wrote to him, before starting, next day,
I find the following:--"I got Lara at three o'clock this morning--read
him before I slept, and was enraptured. I take the proofs with me."]
