Summary
The Letters of Lord Nelson in this Volume commence while he was still acting as Commander-in-Chief in the Mediterranean, and extend from September 1799, to December 1801, a period of two years and four months. His Correspondence, until the arrival of Lord Keith in that command, related principally to the blockade of La Valetta in Malta; to the business of his Squadron; and to the affairs of Sicily, Turkey, Egypt, and the Roman States.
