Sir, |
|
I am directed by Maj Gen Lee to say that Mr Vieden for whom
you apply remained out of the Army until forced into it, and that he
cannot grant therefore a detail for him, a soon as the press upon
farmers is over about their crops he will permit you with such force as
your road may require. |
