He continues "it is rather dangerous to touch on her Ladyships Travels as they exposed her to much ridicule & yet your stanzas on France &c are so beautiful I wish to preserve them". Hayley would prefer to "settle all these critical minutiae by Conversation together" and asks Seward to tell him "very frankly & by the return of the post whether you wish to dispatch the Poem without any unnecessary delays to the Press, or whether you think it may wait, with any advantage, till I can devote myself to you & yr Muse at Lichfield, which I am inclined to hope may be about the 1st week in december".
