He will go from Dover to London, unless Samuel thinks he should visit Plymouth first; his studies and prints must remain in Rome because of the effect the war is having on shipping; he describes travels with
Hoare and events since leaving Parma and his impressions of Venice; they have just returned from an elegant dinner given by "young Mr. Bartolozzi", son of the
engraver; he is very happy at the great name
