éclat
. I have had a present of a stallion from the Pacha of the Morea. I caught a fever going to Olympia. I was blown ashore on the Island of Salamis, in my way to Corinth through the Gulf of Ægina. I have kicked an Athenian postmaster,
have a friendship with the French consul
and an Italian painter, and am on good terms with five Teutones and Cimbri, Danes and Germans
, who are travelling for an Academy. Vale!
Yours,
