Liberator of Greece (see DNB). Three pages (one cross-written making essentially four pages), 4to, sl. damage with obscuring of a word or two, mainly good condition, apparently missing the first leaf. A gossipy detailed letter covering the following subjects:The Irish famine; mutual friends and other people; General Pepe (good relationship); weather and his illness in Greece (he's obviously there); visitors to Greece engaging in "a bold adventure", describing French and British battleships,; glad that the "entente cordiale no longer exists"; Masson; Stratford Canning; a Scotsman who could be confused for a Frenchman; inaccurate article on Greece published in "The Scotsman"; the editor's visit and response. The final cross-written page is hard to decipher.
