Autograph letter signed with initial : "Volage Frigate At Sea," to Francis Hodgson, 1811 June 29.

Remarking that he was "more grieved at leaving Greece, than England"; noting, "my prospects are not very pleasant, embarrassed in my private affairs, indifferent to public, solitary without the wish to be social, with a body a little enfeebeld by a succession of fevers, but a spirit I trust yet unbroken, I am returning home, without a hope, & almost without a desire"; professing himself "sick, and sorry" to be returning to England; saying that he hopes to leave again "when [he has] a little repaired [his] irreparable affairs"; mentioning mutual friends, including [John Cam] Hobhouse; commenting on Hobhouse's book.
