very early on Friday morning.

My cold is still very troublesome, I cannot get my bowels in order. In
the night I had not a little fever.

But, never mind; the Admiralty will not always be there. Every one has
their day.

God bless you, my dear friend; and believe me, ever, your's most
faithfully,

NELSON & BRONTE.

Write on Wednesday.

Your letters of yesterday are received. Reverend Doctor would like to
be a Bishop.

I have sent poor Thomson's letter, and the distressed Mrs. ----, to
the Earl. Kindest regards to Sir William.




LETTER XXVIII.


Amazon, October 20th, 1801.

MY DEAREST FRIEND,
