She then provides details and dates explaining what happened, how she and her aunt visited Phillips to chase the copies, and tells Hayley that "Mr Phillips was very angry with his people for their neglect". She includes a statement detailing how many copies have been sent out and to whom (recipients include William Huskisson, the MP to whom Hayley had sold his house and land at Eartham, William Blake and includes a "Felpham" - presumably Hayley himself). She writes that she has enclosed a proof of the portrait of Cowper which, she says has taken her "lnger to engrave than any one of the same size I ever engaged in. I hope the next I have the pleasure of engaraving for you I shall bring to perfection much sooner, & thus make amends for having tried your patience in the present instance. She then discusses one detail of the portrait which she will change if Hayley wishes. She has had a visit from Mr & Mrs Spilsbury, and a letter from Catherine Fanshawe "with a promise to call & see me when she comes to town. In a postscript she writes that when she called on Joseph Johnson "he begged to know what inscription you intended to be forefixed to the plate of Cowper".
