My dear Sir,
With the permission of Colonel McCombe, Commanding the 14th
Regiment I have the honor thus to give testimony to the conduct of Lieutenant
W. Caine, late of the 17th (which I formerly
Commanded) and now of the 14th I have known him for six years,
and
Consider him a zealous, active, and
Meritorious Officer, as well as a gentleman
of high honor and of a character
irreproachable. He prays for
a removal to a
Regiment coming out to Bengal, and
