Personal letter from Sir William Gell to Gell family from Naples `Good people': Gell has just arrived after tour or rather voyage on and around isle of Sicily. Wants to dispose of his rooms, but wishes all his papers to be sent to Hopton. Intends to be in Switzerland this summer and winter. If he has been invited to join `the Antiquarian Society' [Society of Antiquaries], wants his uncle to pay necessary fees because if not `I shall perhaps lose some good books by the delay' Describes time in Turkey including Turkish fireworks which almost killed Gell and Dodwell [Edward Dodwell, the traveller]. Has a few seeds of which he will give them some. 5 Jul 23 May 1802
