Abstract:
Comments on the figurehead Mr. Rush prepared for a ship, the Fair Lady. "...the head was to represent his Dulcenia--after the head engaged was painted & not til then, I observed she had a fancy Dress--the petticoat buttoned up to the Knee to I supposed your friend might be pleased in seeing & feeling (in due time) the handsome Leg--her delicacy would not wish it exposed to the Sight of every one." Had Rush prepare a new figurehead. "...this one has the picture of her Dearly Beloved at her Breast & a Letter from him in her hand." Comments on the need to paint and gild it.
