Autograph letter signed : Woodbridge, to William Phillips, bookseller, 1814 November 14.

Concerning his suggestion to compile an anthology of poems for the use of members of the Society of Friends; commenting "I have by me a Set of the British Poets from Chaucer to Blacklock inclusive and although there is as thou art aware much trash in that tout ensemble, yet there is also much that is excellent, of which many members of our Society are probably not aware;" saying he will solicit the advice of his uncle in the selection; adding "I am well aware of the difficulty of selecting Poems perfectly unexceptionable to Friends, but I still think it may be done. neither do I by any means think that Rachel Barclay or Lindley Murray have exhausted the stocks. That noble Poem for instance Boyse's Deity, is hardly known even by Title to half the readers of modern Poetry and numbers of others devotional and descriptive might be refined to;" asking to be remembered to his daughter and expressing his wish that her health is improving.
