  • Scope and Content
    Letter arrived whilst he was away on small excursion to Malaga & Ronda. Delivered letter enclosed [not present] for V. Admiral Duff. Pocket book from Tetuan also enclosed [not present]. Not executed as well as had hoped but will serve as a specimen of the performance of the Moors. Algerian embroidery neater & more elegant. Glad Waddilove received the trifles sent him by Mr. Savary. Will send anything else from these parts or Barbary that Grantham would like. Camelions/Chameleon? rare & curious, found at Salli. Could send some alive to Madrid in the summer.
