My Dear & honoured Friend
The bearer of this Letter is Mr. Tivendell a Violin player of this Country, who is very desirous of remaining some lessons from you on that instrument, and who has applied to me for an introduction to you.
I had the great delight of hearing your Sinfonia at the Philharmonic on Monday last1, which was very finely performed. I admire the genius you have displayed in it, & the consummate skill with which you have accomplished your bold & original idea. I inclose you a citation2 from the Morning Chronicle, because it will give you an idea of what is the opinion of some of our critics, altho’, in some prints, it entirely differs from my opinion. But we English are very dull of apprehension, & feel very little of the fruity(???) of Music.
We are waiting in the most anxious expectation for your next letter.
With best compliments to Madame Spohr.
believe me
My Dear Friend
Yours with the highest esteem
Edw. Taylor
