Transcript

Corfu May 18

Your note came just after mine had left. We have just come back from the most lovely drive that was ever seen, full of landscapes wooded with old olive trees, glimpses of surrounding islands, and snowy mountains of Albania in the distance. Half the people are obviously fils et filles du Reg[imen]t 31, which was quartered here; the rest are very like Maories, according to two of our fellow travellers who took a carriage with us, and who have been in New Zealand. This enables us to understand how the ancient Greek race has been preserved so pure. They pretend to write the names of their shops in Greek, but they don’t spell very well. This may be due to the Irish blood.

yours always W.K.C.

[Direction:] Sir Frederic† Pollock | 59 Montagu Square | London W | H. M. πβρεττάνια
