- Summary:
- The letter was written by Robert Hope to his brother John while the former was still onboard the TEMERAIRE as she lay off Portsmouth. The letter was produced just two weeks after the Battle of Trafalgar. The event's significance is clear as the author writes "what do you think of us lads of the sea now, I think they won't send their fleets out again in a hurry."
