However (as you say) there is no treason in it, & as it is arrived I am contented, since whatever you write is too good to be lost, & I had continued to regret it tho I had fresher assurances of health on the preceding day." She writes that she understands how painful it must have been for Hayley and Cowper to part after the latter's visit to Eartham, and mentions that the Bishop of Bristol (a relative of Cowper's) visited Seward while Eliza was there "& we rejoiced together on your intimacy & upon your having tempted the timid Cowper from his Cell which as he observed was an event that had delighted & astonished all his acquaintance. He gave us a very interesting account of his life & of his having been attached to a Lady of his own name who continues single for his sake. You have no doubt heard this history from himself & I hope you agree with Mr. Madan (the Bishop’s son) & me that the fair Theodora is entitled to a place in the Essay on Old Maids." She writes of how her Derby friends have been much agitated in her absence "by the public disgrace of Mr I. Bateman … [who] … stands accused of writing anonymous letters to half the town & country with the most malicious intent[ion?]". Eliza is glad, she writes, that Tom has a companion, but expresses surpise that Hayley hasn't mentioned him to her. She mentions looking at the picture (that Romney painted of Tom as Puck) "with fresh pleasure but it is still at Mr Coke’s as I determine to attend it to Mr Wright’s in its road home & I have been confined to the house some days by cutting a corn too close which has inflamed & made me very feverish. " SHe hears that Wright is much better for a recent trip to Liverpool, and "he is going on with Dr. Darwin’s portrait but he never leaves home in the Winter & I wish him to see my enchanting Fairy tho I do not expect him to see it with any enthusiasm".
