NELSON Horatio (1758-1805) amiral anglais, vainqueur d'Aboukir et de Trafalgar. L.A.S. "Nelson & Bronte", Victory [off Cape St. Vincent (Portugal)] May 8, 1805, to Captain Richard Gardiner Keats; 1.5 pages in-4; in English. He rejoices in the cheerfulness with which Keats has resolved to share the fate of the fleet. Perhaps none of them would really wish for a brief voyage to India, but the call of their country outweighs personal interest. He will see to it that the Superb is accompanied at all times. He wrote to the Admiralty that the Superb would be sent home before the hurricane season. He is looking forward to leaving St. Vincent to join the Lisbon Amazon as soon as his route is fixed. He's offering him dinner here, if the wind is light... "I am very much pleased with the cheerfulness with which you are determined to share the fate of the fleet. Perhaps none of us would wish for exactly a brief India trip but the call of our country is far superior to any consideration of self. I will take care that Superb shall have neighbours fare in everything. I have written to the admiralty that Superb would be sent home before the hurricane weather. I am anxious to get off St Vincent to meet Amazon from Lisbon when my route will be fixt. Will you dine here if we have little wind"...
