Your brother, Mrs.Nelson, and Horace dined with us.

Your brother was more extraordinary than ever.

He would get up suddenly and cut a caper, rubbing his hands every time that the thought of your fresh laurels came into his head.

But I am sure that no one really rejoiced more at heart than I did.

I have lived too long to have ecstasies! But with calm reflection, I felt for my friend having got to the very summit of glory! the NE PLUS ULTRA! that he has had another opportunity of rendering his country the most important service, and manifesting again his judgment, his intrepidity, and his humanity." He had not been many weeks on shore before he was called upon to undertake a service, for which no Nelson was required.
