Ancona,

Sunday night March 26. 1826

My Dear Mother

I dare say this will not reach you till many days after the large packet I sent this morning.– There seems a good chance of me going tomorrow evening – the weather is pleasant. I got a letter from William ¹ today – I have made acquaintance with M^r Park ² the Consul. This town is in decadence.

There is a Guercino ³ reckoned good, in the Cathedral, ⁴ but it has faults. The Ercolani & Marescalchi Galleries at Bologna are being sold; it is a pity. I have being reading the Budget all the evening –

Yours Aff^tly
