Hond Sir

Pardon I beg you my not having hitherto answered yours of the 8th
March which I received at Leghorn. Moving on continualy towards
you and not thinking I should make so many stops I scarcely
thought of writing to you till my arrival here. At Ld Gore's
I found another copy of your Leghorn letter which I suppose
you took the trouble to write from on the possibility of that one's

and at Turin a week each: but I must give two weeks to

certainly excedingly pleasant particularly so for a short time. In Italy
the same: but though every place where I have stopt I have left
with regret and sometimes with difficulty on account of one
or two persons; yet were my means ever so great there is
no country I have seen or am at all informed about where
I would for any consideration fix myself but Russia or England.
even as to the latter with respect to any establishment I am affraid
