The second part consists of five boxes of drafts by Nelson, Admiralty letters to him, mostly for 1801, letters from Nelson to other commanders, 1794 to 1805, and some relating to lands granted to him in Sicily. There is also a log, 1793 to 1794. In the third section there are letters from Nelson to Lady Hamilton, 1798 to 1804, and letters received by Sir William and Lady Hamilton, 1787 to 1810.
