We lost many excellent & valuable officers. Colonel (? name indecipherable) of the 82nd received a mortal wound in the Battle of the 16th…..of which he died the following day, his Regt….behaved most nobly that day. They repulsed several….charges of Cavalry. The French Army are now….upon Paris, the amount of them is only 20,000. I mean the remains of those who were opposing to us. The loss on both sides was very severe, we calculated the loss of the Allies at 55,000 & the enemy….to be 50,000.…Bonaparte has now resigned the government…We have accounts from Paris of last night so that we are not alone…I have no doubt that we will be there in eight days & that I trust without another Battle….The Duke of Wellington by his firmness….frequently saved the day when it was all but lost. He is a most wonderful man….` With holograph address panel bearing the remnants of a red wax seal. A good contemporary account of the Battle of Waterloo and its immediate aftermath.

PRINCE WILLIAM FREDERICK: (1776-1834) Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh, nephew of King George III. An interesting A.L.S., William Frederick, three pages, 4to, Gloucester House, 21st July 1817, to `My dear Lord` (Viscount Sidmouth). The Duke announces `James Pitfield, a Private in my Regiment, has been sentenced to Death for robbery, and as he is extremely young, & has had an excellent character since he came into the 3rd Guards till he committed the crime of which he has been found guilty, I cannot refrain from transmitting to your Lordship the enclosed statement (no longer present) and application from the Captain of the Company to which he belongs, Lt. Colonel Aitchison.` The Duke continues to add that he has been informed that `there are some favourable points in his case` and asks Sidmouth to consider recommending to the Prince Regent that Pitfield`s punishment by mitigated. In a postscript, signed with his initials W.F., the Duke further stresses his anxiety on the subject and remarks that if Sidmouth requires any further information Aitchison or Sir Archibald Murray, the adjutant of the battalion, who `are at present in the Tower and are prepared to state every circumstance relating to this unfortunate man`. Some extremely light, very minor age wear, VG Viscount Sidmouth (1757-1844) British Statesman, Prime Minister 1801-04, Home Secretary 1812-22. James Pitfield (1796-1851) British Soldier, Convict and Stonemason. Pitfield listed in the musters of the 3rd Foot Guards in 1812 and it is possible that he fought at the Battle of Waterloo where five of his fellow soldiers were reported as having been killed on 18th June 1815. In May 1817 Pitfield was arrested for burglary in London and was detained at Bridewell prison before being transferred to Newgate prison on 26th June 1817. On the 4th July he was tried at the Old Bailey before Mr Justice Parker and was found guilty and sentenced to death. Records show that Viscount Sidmouth replied to the present letter from the Duke of Gloucester on the 22nd July 1817 and assured the Duke that the substance of both his letter and that of Aitchisons would be laid before the Prince Regent in Council when the case of Pitfield was next brought under consideration. It would appear that the Duke`s letter was favourably viewed and on 13th August 1817 Pitfield`s sentence was commuted to be transported for life and in November he was sent to Australia, landing at Hobart on 1st June 1818. Given the police number `36`, Pitfield was employed on Public Works and in 1820 was sentenced to 150 lashes and labour in the Gaol Gang for six months for stealing wheat from a mill. He died on 24th December 1851 at Hobart, aged 58 years, and with his occupation stated as stonemason.
