I am so engagd in bringing forward our Entries that I cou'd not give myself ye. pleasure of waiting upon You. And the Invention of a design proper for a Coronation Medal is an undertaking in which few can hope for success; there being no one thing wherein the tast of Mankind is nicer, & there is so little agremt. in their Opinions. In complyance however wth yryr desires wch will have always the force of commands upon me, I have sent 2 or 3 designs for a Reverse gr. wch. may suggest somthing for You to improve, & I shall be glad if even they have so much use wth You.
