I believe, Captain Gore wishes me out of his ship; for the _ladies_
admire him, I am told, very much: but, however, no Captain could be
kinder to me than he is. These ladies, he told me afterwards, were his
relations.
I have just got your letters; many thanks, for them! You do not say,
in the end, Sir William is arrived.
I am glad, that you approve. You may rely, my dear friend, that I will
not run any unnecessary risk! No more boat work, I promise you; but,
ever, your attached and faithful
NELSON & BRONTE.
To the Duke, and Lord William, say every thing which is kind; and to
Mrs. Nelson.
I am so dreadfully sea-sick, that I cannot hold up my head!
LETTER XVII.
September 21st, [1801.]
Quarter past Ten o'Clock.
MY DEAR EMMA,
I wish you would send the letter to Mrs. Dod's, directly; for,
otherwise, he may, inadvertently.
If done, and it comes to London, deliver some of the things. The
wardrobe is her's; and if any of her clothes are at Mr. Dod's, they
had better be separated from mine--and, indeed, what things are worth
removing--to have them directly sent to Merton. A bed, or two, I
believe, belong to my father; but, am not sure.
I send you Dr. Baird's comfortable note, this moment received.
You will [find] Parker is treated like an infant. Poor fellow! I
trust, he will get well, and take possession of his room at the farm.
Ever your affectionate,
NELSON & BRONTE.
LETTER XVIII.
Amazon, September 26, 1801.
Eight o'Clock.
MY DEAREST EMMA,
Your kind letters came on board about six o'clock.
You may rely upon one thing, that I shall like Merton; therefore, do
not be uneasy on that account. I have that opinion of your taste and
judgment, that I do not believe it can fail in pleasing me. We must
only consider our means; and, for the rest, I am sure, you will soon
make it the prettiest place in the world.
I dare say, Mr. Hazelwood acted, like all lawyers, whose only
consideration was for their client: but, I am sure, you will do, for
me, all the civil things towards Mrs. Greaves.
If I can afford to buy the Duck Close, and the field adjoining, it
would be pleasant; but, I fear, it is not in my power: but, I shall
know, when my accounts are settled, at New Year's Day.
To be sure, we shall employ the trades-people of our village, in
preference to any others, in what we want for common use, and give
them every encouragement to be kind and attentive to us.
From my heart, do I wish that I was with you: and it cannot be long;
for, to-day, I am far from well; violent head ache, and very cold;
but, it may be agitation.
