Title	Letter from John Taylor to William Porden, accepting invitation and praising "The Veils" by Eleanor Porden
Date	15 Dec 1815
Description	Always happy to receive Porden's letters; unable to resist invitation to his fireside; he will come on Sunday at five; he has turned attention many times on "The Veils", and would like to compose complimentary verses, but it is beyond his talent, being in his opinion "one of the most extraordinary productions of the human mind, even without consideration of sex or youth"; he will attend another Attic evening; respects to wife and daughter.
