MY DEAR PRUNUS, Peterhead, 3d Sept. 1802.
I have jult received your letter of the 24th of
!aft month, enclofing an Addrefs to me from the
Officers of the Regiment 1 had lately the honour
to.command, and which I find has been figned by
forne of them, in circulatim, in different parts
of the country, fince the regiment was difbanded.
I am fully aware that I owe to your partiality,
founded on our long .eftabliffied friendihip, and
certainly not to any merit which I pofrefs, the
highly favourable opinion of my general charac-
ter, with which you accompany your cordial
concurrence in every fentiment expreffed in the
Addrefs of our Brother Officers.

To them I beg you till have the goodnefs to
communicate the jult fenfe I entertain of their
very flattering attention to me on this occafion,
which I receive with more plearure at my bathing
quarters in Peterhead, after the influence of com-
mand has ceafed, than I would have felt had the
Addrefs been prefented to me at the bead of the
Regiment. Affure them that it will be a fource
of great fatisfaftion to me in my retirement, after
4o years fervice in different parts of the world, to
know that my efforts to promote their welfare and
interea, and. to maintain with your and their af-
fiftance, the general refpatability of a very fine
Regiment, has procured me the happinefs of their
good opinion. Inform them, that lam fenfible
the goodnefs of their hearts has made them over-
rate the effects of my endeavours to be of ufe to
them, and that knowing my good difpofitions ter
wards them, they generoufly give me credit, not
merely for what I did, but for what I would have
done, if I had had the power of giving them
more folid proofs of my attachment and regard.
To you I was greatly indebted for the zeal,
judgment, and ability with which you attended to
the Internal economy, and to the difcipline of the
Regiment. You had the art to combine firmn!ls
with kindoefs, which enabled me to eflablith good
order without having recourfe, but very feldom,
to coercive meafures ; but which, we mutt gladly
acknowledge, our united attentions could not have
prevented the painful neceflity of, if we had not
had under our command a corps compofed of the'
heti difpofed men that, in the .courfe of my long
fervice, I have ever feen collated together in the
fame Regiment.
I remain, ever with the greatelt regard,
My dear Friends, yours faithfully,
(Signed) ALEX. II! . MURRAY.

The Duke of You reviewed the Fitt} Dra-
goons, at Wimbledon, on Friday; it rained dur-
ing the greater part f the evolutions, with the
precifion and rapidity of which, however, his
Royal Highnefs expreffed the highek approbation.
This corps proceeds to Exeter.
