(Genoa) June 23d 1823.
My dearest Augusta,

Tell Lady B. that she did quite right—and I am glad that she did so without hesitation. I do not know where the law lies (it lies always I believe) but I never would have promised the living to any one without her approbation, but have rather left the nomination to herself.

I sail for Greece in about a fortnight, address to Genoa—as usual—letters will be forwarded, yrs ever

N. B.

[At the foot are the following words in Mrs. Leigh’s writing, addressed to Lady Byron:]

Just recd my dearest A only time to send & beg you to return it.
