Group of Nelson Relics The larger of the two silver-gilt cups bears the inscription: "This cup was presented by Emma, Lady Hamilton , to Rear Admiral Lord Nelson, the Victorious Hero of the Nile, September 29, 1798, who constantly drank out it until the glorious though fatal 21st of October 1805. It was bequeathed by his Lordship's will to the Donor." The smaller one is inscriped; "To my much loved Horatia, August 21, 1805. Nelson and Bronte." The letter which is reproduced in reduced facsimile, signed "Emma Hamilton" refers to this cup; it is framed between two pieces of glass there being other writing on the back referring to Horatia. In front of it are two gold rings, one in the form of clasped hands, both given to Lady Hamilton by Nelson, and worn by her. Nelson himself wore a similar pair.
