I beg to thank
Sir W. Codrington most
sincerely for his kind-
ness in thinking of
Miss Stewart & myself
in the approaching
Investiture of the Order
of the Bath.
We should both
have been much
pleased to take

advantage of the
opportunity which
Sir William Codrington
so kindly offers -
and regret that
our business will
prevent us from
doing so -
I have the honor to be
Sir
Your obedt. Servt.
