TitleBusiness letter from Sir William Gell to J Stracey, Berners St., London, banker. From Naples: financial problems. `We are all very happy here if we would but imagine things would remain as quiet as they are at present.' The Princess [of Wales] has some intention of making a tour in Italy; Gell does not intend to accompany her because of his gout. Boney's flight from Elba alarmed English in Naples dreadfully; but, if his enterprise succeeds, has changed his views so much that says he would make the greatest sacrifices to make the English nation his friend. 5 Apr
