Title | Personal letter from Sir William Gell to Philip Gell. From Rome. `Great Sir': congratulates Philip on his income from Cromford Canal shares. Asks if Philip wants his son, John, who is coming to Italy to get a taste for the arts. Gell wants some of new sorts of strawberry seeds; Lady Ruthven has asked him for caper seeds but Gell does not think they will grow in England; in Italy they pickle the young shoots. 25 May |
