LETTER VIII. 
(To Mrs. Dynetny). 
Castetto Branco, May 22nd, 1812. 
I think in my letter of last week to Baynes,’ my dearest mother, I 
told him I had not received a line from Bloomsbury Square? by the 
mail of the 21st, but I have now to thank you for yours of that date 
and also one of the 29th. I wish you had put a paper in of that date. 
As it happened it would have been a very interesting one, for it would 
have had the Tuesday night’s Gazette, by which I find my friend 
Burgoyne?’ has got a Lieut.-Coloneley, a lucky dog, but not more than 
he deserves if they had made hima Major-General. Poor George,‘ I 
wish they had given it to him also, he is another worthy fellow as 
+ Captain Charles Baynes (Kane’s List, No. 1092). He was employed in the naval attack on 
Santa Cruz in 1797, and is thus mentioned by Sir Horatio Nelson. ‘‘ I must not omit to acquaint 
you with the satisfaction I received from the conduct of Lieutenant Baynes of the R oyal Artillery, 
not only from the ardour with which he undertook eyery service, but also from his professional 
skill.” 
He had two brothers in the Royal Artillery besides Henry, already mentioned, viz., O’Hara 
(Kane’s List, No. 1215) and George Macleod (Kane’s List, No. 1375). They were nephews of 
General Sir John Macleod, D.-A.-G., R.A. Captain Charles Baynes married Captain Dyneley’s 
. third sister.—Ed.
