his mother, of which the following is an extract:--


                                   "ATHENS, _18th February, 1824._

    "DEAR MOTHER,--I am enabled to keep twenty-five followers,
    Albanian soldiers, with whom I have joined the most enterprising
    of the Greek captains and most powerful--Ulysses. I am much with
    him, and have done my best during the winter campaign, in which we
    have besieged Negropont, to make up for the many years of idleness
    I have led. I am now in my element, and the energy of my youth is
    reawakened. I have clothed myself in the Albanian costume and
    sworn to uphold the cause.

    "Everything here is going on as well as heart can wish. Great part
    of Greece is already emancipated. The Morea is free, and we are
    making rapid progress to the westward. Lord Byron spends L5000 a
    year in the cause and maintains five hundred soldiers. This will
    in the eyes of the world redeem the follies of youth.

that were weakening the resistance against the common enemy, the Turk.
