a credit to his Regiment.

You will find him quite acquainted with the native

language, and himself useful. In manners and Conduct, he is very gentlemanlike,

and his departure from the Regiment (in which he has been

since he was Three years of age) is productive

of Sincere regret to his brother officers.

Very Sincerely yours

Regiment I have the honor thus to give testimony to the conduct of Lieutenant

of high honor and of a character

irreproachable. He prays for

a removal to a

Regiment coming out to Bengal, and

Major General Sir H. Taylor, K.C.B.
