Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805), erster Herzog von Bronte.
Letzte (zweite?) Seite eines eigenhändigen Briefes in englischer Sprache, gerichtet an seine Mätresse Emma, Lady Hamilton: "that the fleet have not taken a single vessel since the war, the cruising ships have, but not the fleet nor have I seen a French flag since I joined, therefore it is rather heavy work for our officers & men, but Hope I trust will keep up all our spirits for Johnny must have something to do to keep the devil out of his head - Sept. 27th. Our gale is moderating and a ship is just come in sight who I am dispatching to Gibraltar, therefore you must forgive my stopping for I have several letters to send and not half an hour to do it in; only remember me kindly to all our friends and believe me Ever my Dear Emma most faithfully yours", sig. "Nelson+Bronte" u.r., num. 2 o.M.
