" My dear WooDROO this day, inspected, with much
pleasure, Mr. Nelson' nodel of Venus attiring herself,' and
you will agree with me, no doubt, that he has been successful
.in modelling a most perfect female form. The execution, as
well as the design, appears to me to be admirable, and it would
be a great pity were it not to be sculptured in marble. Mr.
Nelson appears to me to be highly deserving of every encou-
ragement from his countrymenurs, ery
