404 LIEUT.-GENERAL THOMAS DYNELEY, C.B., R.A. 
fortably settled ever since, and have gained strength till I am quite 
stout. During my illness I received positive orders to return to Hng- 
land immediately. The Colonel,! who commanded us, called to see me 
yesterday, and said if I wished to remain I might, provided he returned 
me “sick” to head-quarters, and that I wrote an official letter to 
General Macleod. To this I readily agreed, and have written stating 
that I am convalescent. JI must not forget to give you the most 
essential part of our trip to Calabria. Up to the day we left we had 
lessened the French army by 4,500 men,” and our loss (including the 
late sickness) only amounts to 450.
