TALBOT1428

April 27^th 1826

My Dear Mother

My plans are quite uncertain, owing to the uncertainty of the departures of the steamboat, the proprietors of which do not know their own minds – They are going to take her this week to Ancona, & I shall go in her to Cefalonia – but it is impossible to form any plan with such uncertain people –

Missolonghi has fallen ¹ without any body knowing how or when, tho’ it is hardly 50 miles from hence. The defence of the garrison for the last year is considered the most gallant that is known in modern times –

The Post has brought nothing from you, so I have no news of you since the 14^th March, tho’ I have seen newspapers later. Direct to me “Florence”

Your Aff^te Son
H.T.

The weather has been for some time past cool & cloudy.
