"... In most of your letters, that is to say two the only ones I have received of yours, you complain of my silence, this complaint I presume to be removed by this time, as I have written frequently ..."

"As I have just escaped from a physician and a fever which confined me five days to bed, you wont expect much “allegrezza” in the ensuing letter."

Byron's friend

B's point of departure

"I have been journeying in different parts of Greece for these last four months, and you may expect me in England somewhere about April, but this is very dubious."

"I think, upon the whole, I was more grieved at leaving Greece, than England, which I am impatient to see, simply because I am tired of a long voyage."

"I shall begin by telling you, having only told it you twice before, that I swam from Sestos to Abydos."

"I am on my way to Constantinople after a turn through Greece Epirus &c and part of Asia minor, some particulars of which I have just communicated to our friend & Host H. Drury, with these then I shall not trouble you. –"

"I have just arrived at this place after a journey through Portugal, and a part of Spain, of nearly 500 miles."
