II.
Thursday Evening, June 12th, [1799.]
I have been with the Queen this evening. She is very miserable; and says, that although the people of Naples are for them, in general, YET things will not be brought to that state of quietness and subordination, till the fleet of Lord Nelson appears off Naples. She therefore begs, intreats, and conjures you, my dear Lord, if it is possible, to arrange matters so as to be able to go to Naples.
Sir William is writing for General Acton's answer.
For God's sake, consider it, and do! We will go with you, if you will come and fetch us.
Sir William is ill; I am ill: it will do us good.
God bless you! Ever, ever, your's sincerely,
E. HAMILTON.
