NELSON, Horatio, Viscount (1758-1805). Autograph letter signed ('Nelson & Bronte') to John Newby, Secretary of the Marine Society, Merton, 3 March 1802.
One page, 210 x 185mm, endorsed on the verso by the recipient.
'As I am not well enough in health to attend the Meeting of the Marine Society tomorrow, I have therefore to request that you will give the enclosed 5 £ note for the benefit of the Charity'.
Following his victory at the Battle of Copenhagen and the successful negotiation of the Peace of Amiens, Nelson retires in poor health to recuperate at Merton Place: he would reside with Emma and William Hamilton at Merton, which he acquired in 1802, until the latter's death the following year. This period of relative domestic bliss would come to a final end just months after this, when hostilities with France resumed and Nelson was called back to sea.
