Lakes in Il. Tuesday. Dear Lady Shrewsbury - I fear you hast have thought we very crop and suds, last kept, to run away in such an uncertainty manner, but I saw that as other resource and must have say if I had staid. It is quite true that I told you that I have always had it a point to avoid singing there there are professional honourers; for, here ones as I am always in singing for any but intimate friends, this feeling of course becomes doubtly painful when I am watched over by critical ears and eyes. Some other time, it will give me the greatest perplexity pleasure to sing at your bidding and as much, as you please for listeners she like yourself love simple and, I may add, feeling music - for that is all mine care for tend to. Yours, by Dear Lady Shrewsbury, very truly Thomas Moore.

As I determined to dedicate to you (and will stop them your smile enough be of the property of my determination) it was my intention not to dedicate to any one; and this would certainly have been, that is called, the best certain. But it has occurred to me that I might turn the tribute, such as it is, to account, by opening it to an other friend of mene, whose kindness to our eldest little girl (attorney print Coftoneed brandown, to Americans) was such as it would letter have such tributes to repay. The objections to dedicating this are, especially enough the very reasons of those that certainty in your case. Gray you being a too responsible person, and be a too obscure one - my fear eath you being that of wanting your name, and with him that of thowing too hundred light on it. As I have, however, it will give him pleasure. I have made up sent to do it, and as the dedication was really your prospect, thank it but honest to announce to you this alienation of it. I hope to see you about the beginning of next week, & to trust that the "glorious more" will not quite have you off before I arrive. Ever faithfully yours Thomas Down. 19 Berry St St. Lawrence,
