Here his Majesty, accompanied by the queen & her sister, & the infant Don Carlos, husband of the latter, and Don Antonio the childish old uncle, rows about close to the shore; all waving their handkerchiefs and enjoying the vivas of the children and the few persons whose mouths are not employed in smoking..."), his journey through La Mancha, and then on to Venice and through the Simplon Pass; the first letter written in what Hughes describes as "a mixture of Spanish, Basque and Catalan" (modern translation supplied); the letters from Italy illustrated with four small sketches, 13 pages, partly cross-written, some worming at the foot with a small loss of text, seal-tears, Barcelona, Rome, Naples, 13 April to 11 October 1817
