To Mrs. Tighe Date: LONDON, February 7, 1789. DEAR MADAM, It would not easily be that I should refuse anything which you desired. Therefore I have sat four Journal, vii, 459-64. times to Mr. Romney, and he has finished the picture. It is thought to be a good likeness, and many of my friends have desired an engraving taken from it. But I answer, 'The picture was not mine but yours. Therefore I can do no thing without your consent.' But if you have no objection, then I will employ an engraver that I am well assured will do it justice. Wishing every blessing to you and all your family, I remain, dear madam, Your affectionate servant.
