He notes that the Queen of Naples is also being very kind to him and often sends for him to spend the evening with her and the Princess Royal. Sir William Hamilton writes that he is to send his niece an antique ring which had belonged to his wife. The ring is described as being 'on a Turkey stone & the subject is a Perseus'.
