L.A.S. «Nelson & Bronte», à bord de l'Amazon 14 octobre 1801, à Sir William HAMILTON; 2 pages in-4. Signed autograph letter, «Nelson & Bronte», aboard the "Victory", 16 April 1805, addressed to Captain Richard THOMAS of H.M. Aetna; 2 and a half pages in-4. Letter from Nelson contemporary with his pursuit of the Admiral de Villeneuve in the Mediterranean. Curieuse lettre au mari de sa maîtresse. «My Dear Sir William, I am quite rejoiced to hear that you have got possession and I assure you every study of mine shall be to make you happy in it. I shall buy fish out of the Thames to stock the water, but I bar Garble. I shall never forget the one you had cookd at Stains. Sutton, Bedford, Peard and Hendy are all determined to come and see us and I know that as strangers you had rather have well informed Sea Officers than any Country Squires, Lords &c &c. The admiralty will not let me escape. I have now wrote a Public letter, saying that now the Service I was called forth for (to prevent Invasion) is over, I beg their Lordships permission to go on shore as I want repose. Old Yawkins dined with me yesterday; he always begs his duty. Your Milford Cutter is return'd. I had Mr Hopkins her Commander to dinner, he has conducted himself very well indeed, he speaks much of what your Milford must be in after years of Peace. If Mr Greville is in town remember me kindly to him and to the Duke and all our friends».... [Traduction: «Je me réjouis d'apprendre que vous avez pris possession et je vous assure que je ferai tout pour que vous y soyez heureux. J'achèterai du poisson de la Tamise pour stocker les eaux, mais j'exclus le Garble. Je n'oublierai jamais celui que vous avez fait cuire à Stains. Sutton, Bedford, Peard et Hendy sont déterminés à venir nous voir, et je sais qu'en tant qu'étrangers, vous préféreriez avoir des officiers de la marine bien informés qu'aucun hobereau ou aristocrate, etc. L'Amirauté ne me permettra
