dc.description.transcription	Calais March 13. 1818 My dear friends After a stormy but very short voyage we have arrived at Calais, & are at this moment on the point of proceeding. We are all very well & in excellent spirits. Motion has always this effect upon the blood, even when the mind knows that there are causes for dejection – With respect to Tailor & Hessy I am ready to certify, if necessary in a Court of Justice that they [deleted] one of them said he would give up his copyright for the £20 & that in lieu of that he would accept the profits of Rimini until it was paid. Yours ever affectionately P B Shelley Pray write to Milan. [verso, in Mary’s hand:] Shelley is full of business & desires me to finish this hasty notice of our safety—The children are in high spirits & very well. Our passage was stormy but very short both Alba and William were sick but they werly [deleted] were very good and slept all the time – We now depart for Italy with fine weather & good hopes Farewell my dear friends May you be happy.—Your affectionate friend Mary WS [WG?] [flourish]
