_Documents relating to the word_ “FIRM,” _borne by the_
THIRTY-SIXTH _regiment, alluded to in Sir George Nayler’s letter,
dated 6th of January 1817, inserted at page 94_.
“_Monte Video, 30th July 1807._
“SIR,
“I do myself the honour of acknowledging the receipt of your
letter dated the 9th of May last, and now transmit a sketch of
the regimental colours of the first battalion of the THIRTY-SIXTH
regiment, as represented in the accompanying paper, marked D
and E.; at present there are no camp colours with the 36th,
they having been destroyed by fire when the regimental store
was burned at Battle barracks, a few days before the regiment
embarked for foreign service.
“I likewise do myself the honour of sending a sketch from the
regimental seal, and beg to be informed by you if we have
not a right to the word ‘Firm’ embroidered on the colours as
represented in that sketch. How long the seal has been in the
regiment I cannot pretend to say, only it is the same seal that
has been made use of since I came into the THIRTY-SIXTH, which
will be _thirty-four years_ the month after next. Should there be
any office where the devices of different regiments are recorded,
I should imagine it would be a matter easily ascertained.
“I have, &c.
(Signed) “ROBERT BURNE,
_“Lieut.-Colonel, Commanding 1st Battalion,_
_“36th Regiment.”_
_George Nayler, Esq., York Herald,_
_&c._ _&c._ _&c._
“_Treasury Chambers_,
“_24th April 1809_.
“DEAR SIR,
“I am desired by my brother of the THIRTY-SIXTH regiment to
make application to you for a drawing (furnished you some time
past by Colonel Burne) of a regimental seal, for the purpose of
registering the bearings on the colours, and having the word
‘FIRM’ inserted.
