Summary: 

Discussing regimental business and relating news of mutual acquaintances; discussing his reconciliation with the Duke of York saying "The remark you make upon the reconciliation which has taken place between the Duke of York & myself is exactly what I expected it would be & I only wish that it had existed prior to my accepting the Government of Gibraltar as then I am well convinced things would never have taken the turn they have done since that period, by which I mean that I should have escaped all the unjust treatment that I have experienced after the Mutiny; and instead of being situated as I am now, I should be at this time at my post & holding the Commission of Commander of his Majesty's Forces in the Mediterranean, while he would still be at the Head of the Army."

Purchased by Pierpont Morgan from Pearson in 1910.
