Highly esteemed British admiral (1758–1805) best known for his participation in the Napoleonic Wars, during which, in the Battle of Trafalgar, he lost his life. ALS signed “Your obliged & faithful Bronte Nelson of the Nile,” one page, 7.25 x 9, March 28, 1800. Letter to Chevalier Malinski, in part: “I beg you to forward the enclosed…I send you a copy of my letter to Sir Sydney Smith more than a year past which you are perfectly to use.” Heavy overall foxing and soiling (not adversely affecting readability), otherwise very good condition. This letter was part of one of the most famous collections gathered in the mid-19th century by the noble Italian family Durazzo, and thus remained unpublished. A rare letter mentioning another of Britain’s most important naval officers, offered individually for the first time in 150 years.
