that he would end his life so. Certainly, his situation must be
heart-breaking! Gaetano returned in the frigate. I believe, he saw enough of Naples. He carried his family money; and Mr. Falconet (Gibbs being absent) will pay Mr. Greville's pension to Gaetano's family. I have now [sent] Gaetano to the post: and he desires, to present his duty; and to tell you, that Mr. Ragland, from Sir William's death, will not pay any more pensions, without orders from Mr. Greville. Vincenzo has had none paid. He is very poor; keeps a shop. His son wanted, I find, to come in the frigate to me. I cannot afford to maintain him; therefore, I shall give no encouragement. Old Antonio was allowed a carline a day; that is, now, not paid. Sabatello lives with Mr. Elliot. Nicolo, and Mary Antonio, have left Mr. Gibbs, for some cause; Gaetano says, he believes, for _amore_. Francesca has two children living, and another coming. She lives the best amongst them, like _gallant homme_. Pasqual lives with the Duke Montelione; and Joseph, with the old Russian. Your house is a hotel; the upper parts are kept for the Marquis, the owner. |
