To Captain Robinson, H.M. Ship Swiftsure
Victory, 7th January 1805
Dear Sir,
As you must feel more comfortable to have an Officer board who has been at Madalena, I send you Lieutenant Brown, of Victory.
I sincerely hope that your gout is removed. We shall get a Westerly wind, and to-morrow forenoon be at anchor ; and I beg that you will dine here if that is the case, and believe me, dear Sir, yours most faithfully.
NELSON AND BRONTE
