Letter signed : "Kensington Palace", to Frederick Wetherall , 1812 Oct. 23.

Congratulating him on his new Command; saying he was "vexed to find that you should so soon after assuming it have had to encounter the highly alarming circumstance of a plot amongst three Regiments of native Infantry, belonging to your Force, to Mutiny and massacre the Europeans in their vicinity, though providentially it was discovered in time & you were enabled therefore to counteract it & to bring the Ringleaders to Summary punishment;" thanking him for his gifts to them and enclosing a thank you note from Madame de St. Laurent; relating news of mutual friends in the Regiment; reporting on the health of Wetherall's brother; saying he will try to promote the advancement of his son Edward to the Royal Scots but saying there are few openings; asking him, in a postscript signed with his initial, "to procure for me one of those thick wadded or quilted Chinese Silk Roquelaures, which the men wear in the Winter in that Climate."
