Title
John Gell to Philip Gell - has just heard that the Excellent is ordered to be got ready with despatch - is getting men every day - an old shipmate or two is coming - the Spaniards are in too shocking a condition for war - it is certain that Allen Fitz [Alleyne Fitzherbert] is busy negotiating - many people are preparing to go to Paris - the Jacobins are Democratics and elect anybody without objection to religion or race - Mr Kinnersley is ruining himself to vex the house of Trentham - Mr Tooke has given Fox's popularity a great blow - does not know what squadron he is to join but it is likely to be Sir John Jervis. 6 Jul
