Title	Letter from William Porden to John Taylor, enclosing poems by Eleanor Porden for publication in "The Sun"
Date	18 Dec 1815
Description	Enclosing poems which "will add to the Splendour of the solar rays", which he hopes he will not consider "motes that will rather obumbrate his radiance", citing Milton in support; Thursday is due to be St Thomas's day, so the poem's appearing on that day would be well timed; the one to Mrs Alsop to be left to his wisdom.
