being your decision, I will immediately make the neces-
sary application to the adjutant-general.
Believe me ever to remain, with the most friendly
regard, My dear Major,
Yours faithfully,
Major Maclean, Edwaiid.
Royal Scots.
No. 2.
My dear Major, Kensington Palace, 2d Oct. 1819.
I have just received your favour of the 29th ultimo.
I am most truly mortified to find from it that your
health is at present so bad; but I hope by proper
attention to it for the next four or five months, for which
time I shall immediately apply to the adjutant-general
that you may have leave, it will be thoroughly restored.
Indeed it would be a sad disappointment to me if you
were unable to join the 2d battalion ; for you must be
yourself aware the two field officers now with it are
wholly unequal to the charge of the battalion ; and my
whole dependence for their future discipline must rest
upon you, so long as their colonel remains absent. The
very instant I receive the adjutant-general's answer I
will despatch it to you ; and in the meanwhile I remain
ever, with the most friendly regard,
My dear Major,
Yours faithfully,
Major Maclean, Edward.
Royal Scots.
Major Donald Maclean was married to Cathe-
rine only daughter of Dr. Alexander Maclean,

sary application to the adjutant-general.
