I have the honor thus to

of the 11th.
I have known him for six years and consider him a zealous, active and meritorious officer-
as a gentleman, possessing high honor and of a character irreproachable - He is going to a Regiment coming to Bengal, and if you will favour him with your kind offices, I feel assured
Major General,
prays for removal
