Horatio Nelson
1801 (14 Oct.) from H.M.S. Amazon, A.L.S. to Admiral Lutwidge, and reads, "I shall never get from the Downs. If I wished to stay I dare say I should not have interest. I am quite angry, but who cares for that. I am desired to keep all my Cruizers at sea to guard the trade. I send a letter to Mrs Lutwidge from our excellent friend Lady Hamilton. With every good wish, believe me ever, your most obliged, Nelson & Bronte". Three horizontal filing creases and some edge wear. Clean

Nelson was suffering from a bad cold and had complained to Lutwidge that he could not get any leave until 22 October, then for only 10 days
