My dear Colouch,
This has for its object the introduction to your favourable notion of Lieut.: W. Caine, lately exchanged from the 14th to the 47th Foot. During the time I have commanded the 17th I have found him a most intelligent and zealous Officer. He has been in the Light Company three years, and has always proved an active smart Officer; indeed he has generally commanded the Company and that charge. I have not taken his wings from him, when his tour came to command the Company, but gave him as his second Lieut. J. M. Combe.
