(11.) FROM SIR H. HARDINGE TO LORD FALMOUTH.
“21st March, two o’clock.
“MY LORD,
“I feel it to be my duty, before I make a final communication to your
lordship, to ascertain, beyond the possibility of a doubt, that Lord
Winchilsea declines to give the reparation which the Duke of Wellington

servant.
HENRY HARDINGE.”

of Wellington considers himself entitled to receive, I feel myself

explanation, &c. of his lordship’s conduct towards the Duke of
Wellington; and, in order to avoid the possibility of any mistake, I
repeat what has already been verbally arranged between us, that the Duke
of Wellington will be at the place appointed at eight o’clock to-morrow
morning.
H. HARDINGE.”
(14.) FROM THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO LORD WINCHILSEA.
