The Daily Telegraph reports on the sale of a letter written a few days after the battle of Trafalgar which describes the wounding and subsequent death of Lord Nelson. The author, who was on another Royal Navy vessel and not the Victory itself ascribes other last words to the Admiral than the famous “Kiss me Hardy”.
The letter is being sold in New York, and it would be good to think it might return to a collection in this country.
