Dear Sir –
I take the liberty of transmitting to you three letters. – I know not that they will be of any use to you – but you may try them – If you see Mr. Thorswalden pray tell him to send my bust of Lord Byron directly to me by the usual means – You will confer a favour on me if you will let me hear from you on this subject from Rome –
Let me advice you to travel from Naples by land to Otranto in your way to Greece. The good folks will endeavor to detour you – but go by all means – As to Greece you must be regulated by accidents[?]– ‘Ali Pacha ’s war is rather against you’ –
I have enclosed a letter to Foscolo which you may find an opportunity of leaving with a card –
With every wish for your health & good fortune during your journey believe me
Your faithfully
John-C. Hobhouse
Whitton Park – Hounslow.
