Summary
Telling George that he must write to his Hereford lodgings, where the copies of her Poems "are lying in the desert air"; writing that she has not sent copies to anyone in Herefordshire yet, so as not to offend anyone by only sending copies to a few people, such as Lady Margaret Cocks, the Commelines, and Julia Martin, as she had originally planned; asking for advice on how to negotiate this matter; writing that Mrs. Martin may be coming to London, "& then she can have a copy from me, should she care for it."
