Major-General Sir Patrick Lindesay for a time appeared to derive
benefit from his native air, and the society of friends and
relatives, but the seeds of disease had taken too deep a hold of
his constitution to enable it to rally. After a lingering illness,
he died at Portobello, near Edinburgh, on the 14th of March 1839,
in the sixty-second year of his age, having completed a course of
more than forty-four years’ active service.
