Summary
Presenting her with a copy of his A Widow's Tale, and other Poems, in return for a volume of her own work (probably her The Fate of Adelaide :a Swiss Romantic tale and other poems. London : John Warren, 1821) he which he had received previously ("I fear my poor Widow's Tale, with its addenda, will seem but a very inadequate return for thy elegant tome; but old proverbs tell us you can have no more of a cat than its skin; and from a Quaker Poet what but sober Quakerly verses can be expected").
