Aulus Gellius [Sir William Gell] to PE at the Albergo della Speranzella (possibly in Naples?) re the publication of some papyri, to be dedicated to the King (if the King should disappear, the name can be changed from George to Frederick, George III's 2nd son. No date, but an oblique reference to the dropping of the Pains and Penalties Bill puts it between Nov 1820 and Aug 1821 (death of Queen Caroline). See Horsfall p476f & notes ad loc - perhaps the letter should be dated to late 1820, just after PE's departure from Italy.
