Summary:
His last letter 30 December 1786. Account of his [and William Younge's] time in Genoa, including stay with the Marquis Durazzo, acquaintance with Dr Batt, fears for Mr Marsh's health, "smooth" English consul. Account of precipitous journey to Pisa, which necessitated sea journey from Sestri to Lerici, the remainder of the journey on land. Intended itinerary for remainder of their time in Italy. "Abundantly" furnished with letters of introduction. Durazzo reports that Spalanzani is now in prison in Vienna under charge of embezzlement; all hope for his innocence, he does for the "honor of philosophers".
