Mr. Elliot has taken the house of the Baille Franconi, on the Chaia.

Doctor Nudi inquired kindly after us; and all the women at Santa Lucia
expected, when they saw Gaetano, that you was arrived.

Bread never was so dear; every thing else in plenty. The wages not
being raised, Gaetano says, the poor of England are a million times
better off.

So much for Gaetano's news. He desires his duty to Signora Madre; and
remembrances to Mary Ann, Fatima, &c.

[July 8th.

We joined, this morning, the fleet. The men in the ships are good; but
the ships themselves are a little the worse for wear, and very short
of their complements of men. We shall never be better: therefore, let
them come; the sooner, the better.

I shall write a line to the Duke, that he may see I do not forget my
friends; and I rely, my dearest Emma, on your saying every kind thing,
for me, to the Doctor, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. Bolton, Mr. and Mrs. Matcham,
Mrs. Cadogan; whose kindness, and goodness, I shall never forget.

You will have the goodness to send the inclosed, as directed; and be
assured, that I am, to the last moment of my life, your most attached,
faithful, and affectionate,

NELSON & BRONTE.
