The duties of your Office at Hruptinge will not permit you to leave that place for a moment when another Officer of the Government is on the Spot, and the Chief Superintendent is still absent. You must feel with him that while in the Office you now hold, it necessarily becomes my duty to press, however painfully, the privilege of being your Chief, in any Military situations in which it may be engaged.

... of my having been taken from the Military profession to perform Civil Duties. These will be stated and forwarded in a separate communication to the Lords of the Treasury for their favourable consideration.
The importance of the matter in question will, I trust, be a sufficient excuse for the trouble I have given you.
I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient humble Servant,
