| Inscription | 194
Aug. 30, 1740. Sir, The great improvement you have made in the Art of Writing is a plain Proof of an uncommon Genius; and that Modesty which attends your Merit, has justly gain'd you the Esteem of the Ablest Penmen. As you have been pleas'd to favour Me with several Pieces for the service of my Universal Penman, I think it incumbent on me to pay you my grateful Acknowledgements for your friendly Assistance. However, I must still desire You to write a Piece or Two more for me in Your legible, free, and expeditious Manner, which, I doubt not, will answer the Expectations of the most Curious: And the sooner you Oblige me in this Particular, the more acceptable it will be to Sir, Your most Obliged humble Servant G. Bickham |
