Dear Sir(s), Ms.


   I do not know if this is an error.  However, the date is up to
   conjecture.  Therefore, I am writing you.  Can you help me out in
   specifying the correct date ref. the following?

   On the internet
   page [1]http://snowy.arsc.alaska.edu/gutenberg/etext06/8lbp310.txt you
   write that while at Oriel College the British poet and literary critic
   Joseph Warton, (1722-1800) wrote his poems The Enthusiast and The Dying
   Indian.  I am presently interested in The Dying Indian.  That poem was
   first published in 1755 in Dodsley's A Collection of Poems, IV (1755)
   I do now doubt the possibility that Warton wrote the poem in 1744, but
   I would like to know what is your source for claiming that the poem was
   written in 1744, when Joseph Warton was 22 years old?

   Perhaps ypou can refer me to an expert on the subject if it is
   impossible for you to clarify the answer to the question.

   I thank you for your time and co-operation


   Frederick W. Dame
