Cephalonia, August 26, 1823.
My Dear Sir,

I have to acknowledge your very kind and flattering letter, and am truly glad that you and Mrs. K. have not been so tired of my company as I feared. The few days which I passed with you in your beautiful island, are amongst the whitest in my existence; and as such I shall recollect them,—not without the hope of our meeting again, some time, and somewhere.

I have given directions to Messrs. Kornologni (or Corialegno) to furnish the Moreote refugees with every necessary for their decent subsistence at my expense—

as before proposed by myself; and I have also (as he may, or should have apprized you) directed two hundred and fifty dollars to be placed at your disposal, for the other families now in Ithaca, to be distributed to the most deserving, or the most necessitous, in such proportions as your better experience and knowledge of their circumstances may suggest. The various demands upon me have made me limit the sum lower than I could wish, but it may be a little help to some in the meantime, and we may perhaps do more by-and-bye.

I hope that Mrs. K. has not suffered from her travels, . . . . she is the most intrepid craigs-woman (as the Scotch call it) I have met with. Count P. Gamba, and the rest of the party, beg their best thanks and respects both to her and to you; and uniting in every good wish, I ever am.

Your obliged
And faithful servant,
Noel Byron.
Captain K.,
Ithaca.

P.S. I do not include the Moreote family’s debt in the subscription. I intend to pay that on a separate account; but I forget the amount.
