* * * * * 3, West Eaton Place, April 4th. My dear Mrs. Brooke, I return, with many thanks, the last parts of General BROOKE'S Notes, and the Letters. They have had very great interest for me, and make one bitterly regret--more than ever--the blunders which led to so much national disaster, and to the irreparable loss of valuable lives. With renewed thanks. Believe me, yours very faithfully, EDWARD STANHOPE. * * * * * From H. E. Sir James Fergusson, Governor of Bombay. Bombay, 18th January, 1881. Sir James Fergusson presents his compliments to Lady Arabella Brooke, and begs to apologise for not having sooner replied to her Ladyship's letter of the 27th October. Before he received it, all necessary orders had been given for the suitable transport of the remains of the late and lamented Brigadier-General BROOKE, and Sir James Fergusson trusts that her Ladyship has been sensible that nothing has been omitted which could mark the respect entertained by the Government, the Services, and the public, for an officer whose loss was universally deplored, and whose death was so honorable. Sir J. Fergusson ventures to offer his sincere sympathy and condolence with the family so grievously bereaved. * * * * * From Lord Napier of Magdala. Gibraltar, March 19th, 1881. My dear Mrs. Brooke, ... It must have been a melancholy satisfaction to you to have been able to consign the precious remains of your noble Husband to the resting-place of his Family--a sad duty, but one of infinite value to you. It is grievous to think that if his advice had been listened to, the lives of many valuable men, as well as his own, might have been saved.... Lady Napier desires her love. With kindest remembrances and regards. Believe me, Yours very sincerely, NAPIER OF MAGDALA. * * * * * From Lieut. C. Kandahar, 11th January, 1881. My dear Annie, ... Very few enjoy such general respect and admiration when living, or when gone cause such universal expressions of praise and regret. I am now living with the 7th Fusiliers, and I assure you when I came up, and now when alluded to, no officer seemed then, or now, to be able to say enough in praise of his late Brigadier, and many have some kind act or word to record, as either received at his hands or spoken to them during the siege. * * * * *
