Chapter XVII: Letter LV

Victory, October 7, [1804.]
2 P.M.

I shall only say--_Guzelle Gannam Justem_--and that I love you beyond all the world! This may be read by French, Dutch, Spanish, or Englishmen; for it comes from the heart of, my Emma, your faithful and affectionate

NELSON & BRONTE.

I think the gentry will soon come out. I cannot say more by such a conveyance.
