Summary
Asking for the mottoes "as soon as possible - if they occur readily - if not, do not trouble yourself to seek;" discussing various rhyming practices and referring to the Spanish practice of rhyming "Whereby you may make the rhyme fall upon the first syllable, instead of the last - as si-lence and is-lands. Now, shall we do? Are we agreed, at last? If not, let me know what further you desire, and I will endeavour to accommodate myself;" asking if she would like to see his 'Reply' in proof.
