| 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 for be left to his wisdom. |
