presented to him with the following Letter, to
which we subjoin his Reply :
•
To the Hoaourable Lieutenant-Colrmel PARENHAIR, COM.'
ruanding the Royal Fusileers.
" The. Officers of t;:e First Battalion of the Royal 'Fusiliers, j
ha7ing learnt, with unfeigned rettret, your intention of leaving for
a time the immediate command of the Regiment, avail them-
selves of Ws opportunity to assure you of the sincere regard and
esteem felt by every member of the Corps.
" A series of years passed in nnremitted exertions for the be-
nefit of the service in general, and for the honour and welfare of
this Regiment in particular, calls for the most unequivocal expres-
sions of our aemiration and gratitude; convinced, however, that
larguage can but ill convey an adequate sense of our feelings, we
refrain from (violating upon merits which speak most Os.rcibly
for themselves.
"To the marks of public approbatiofi and private esteem which
you already possess, permit us to request that you will allow your.
Portrait to be placed in our Mtss-roorn ; and, as a further token
of our regard, your acceptance of a Sword, value 200 guineas.—
Sensible that the motives of these offers will, in your mind, eon-.
stituts their worth,-By request of the Officers of r.le Corps,
" EDWARD BLARINEY, Major Royal Fusiliers,
and Bt. Lieut. Colonel "
To Lieutenant-Colonel BLAKENEY, &C.
" Officers of the Royal Fusiliers,
" 1 have received your Letter, caused by my propelled depar-
tore, with warmth equal to its tenor—with sati•faction few men
have had a right to experionee.
" Friemiship formed at ease, confirmed in danger, becomes too
sacred to need professions
" Year cordial -gal %as ever anticipated my wishes, towards the
prosperity of the crops, which your eenerosi.y has ton much attri-
buted to my past exertion :—Let my actions speak a continuance
of attachment)
" Your gift, and desire of recollection hereafter to me, will
serve as professional impellants.
" In having the Fusiliers, I separate from the best comrades,
from the chief source of my soldiers pride; yet it is for the object
Of duty !—Here draw the line.
" Do you, by usual energy, continue ripe for service ; it is for
rte to improve, the more honourably to lead you.—Your's,
" E. M. PARCHRAIII, Lieutenant-Colonel."
