. 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,

[I]

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,
