Amazon, October 16th, 1801.
MY DEAREST FRIEND,
I send you a letter for Allen’s
wife; and one for Germany, which I wish you would
make Oliver put in the Foreign Post Office, and pay
what is necessary.
I would send you the letter to which
it is an answer, but it would be over-weight.
It is all compliments; and, the man says, it is all
truth.
The wind is freshened cold, but very fine day.
Best regards to Sir William, Mrs.
Cadogan, Mr. Oliver, and all friends.
For ever, your’s faithfully,
NELSON & BRONTE.
I have a letter from Reverend Doctor he
is as big as if he was a Bishop; and one from the
Bedel of the university, to say how well he preached.
I hope you ordered something good for him, for those
big wigs love eating and drinking.
