SCHOMBERG
(Alexander Wilmot, 1774-1850, Admiral, Writer on Shipbuilding)
Autograph Letter Signed as Captain to Mr Naylor at Rochester,
about a bill of April 1798 supposed to have been outstanding with his tailors in Chatham, the late Messrs Acworth & Matthews, and now called in by Acworth's executors, for "some common necessaries" and £5 5s in cash, he cannot think the account correct, "I sailed from Chatham in the spring of 1797, when I remember paying all my Bills & Mr Acworth's was one ... I arrived in the Downs but never returned to the Medway from 1797 to this day. I sailed for Newfoundland", he explains the unlikelihood of the items "when I had left Chatham above twelve months ... If I thought I owed ... twelve, or twenty pounds, time nor place should not prevent my paying them",

Most Illustrious and Cultivated ['Coltissimo'] Benefactor [?, '?Benefattore'],
At this moment His Excellency Viscount Nelson bids me acknowledge your most valued letter of the 27th inst. and in addition to inform you that as soon as you he had read it, the necessary orders were given to avoid a similar occurrence. His Excellency is most deeply grieved that given the time that has gone by since the event, it is not possible to find the culprit, he hopes that it was occasioned more by ignorance than malevolence.
I have the honour to beg You, Illustrious Sir, to convey the above to Signor Don Giuseppe Pez, and with due respect and obedience I subscribe myself, Most Illustrious Sir,
