[30] _A "Horse Guards, 5th September, 1804._ "MY DEAR LORD, "I have been so extremely occupied since my return from my tour through the southern district that I have never been able, till this day, to write to you, and to express to you, in the warmest manner possible, the thorough satisfaction I experienced at the appearance and state of discipline of the KING'S OWN regiment, which does the highest credit to the commanding officer, and every individual in it. I beg your lordship to convey these sentiments from me to the regiment, and at the same time to be assured that I shall, in consequence, recommend to his Majesty to allow a greater promotion to take place in the KING'S OWN upon the present occasion, than has been allowed to other regiments, the fifty-second excepted. I shall therefore be happy to receive any recommendations that your lordship may think proper to make." (Signed) "FREDERICK." "_To Lieut.-General the Earl of Chatham._
