Personal letter from Sir William Gell to Mrs Georgiana Gell, Poste restante, Brussels. From Rome. Suffering from gout. Has not seen tableaux since her departure. Her Serene Highness came and gave them an hour of her beauty and a play she wrote called `The Princess of Georgia'. Gell has seen the Listons, Mr Smith Wright and Lady Sitwell. His neighbours, the Knights, and the Margravine [of Anspach] are almost all that remain, except Petre and the Ingams. [Includes sketch of Tivoli cascades]. Has accompanied Duke of Hamilton to see castles with another historian of Rome, Mr Hammond. Knew Lady Sitwell was a beauty but did not know she intended to be a belle esprit. In religion she is a Methodist alias Evangelical. Gell likes her much. 10 May 1827
