VI. 



you by Capt. Schuttleworth this morning. Having 

 Sir Robert Boyd's consent, nothing but yours is 

 wanting to obhge me in this, I shall esteem it a 

 very particular mark of friendship from you if you 

 will give your consent and allow the exchanges to 

 be transacted to-morrow. My new clothing can 

 then be immediately fitted to these men, which is 

 a very great convenience to me. I am sure Major 

 Grey will approve of your having thus obliged me, 

 particularly as Colonel Dalrymple in his letters 

 while he still belonged to the Queen's Regiment 

 particularly said, " I have it in orders from General 

 Jones to desire your R.H. will lay your command 

 on the Queen's Regiment for any exchange you 

 may wish for." Trusting therefore, dear Colonel 

 Wollocombe, that you will acquiesce, I have only 

 to desire you will not let the officers of the 

 Regiment know of the business till completed. 

 I wait for an answer, and beg to subscribe myself 

 in the meanwhile 



Your most obedient 



humble servant, 



EDWARD, COLONEL R.F.
