Excerpt from Mémoires de Robert-S. M. Bouchette, 1805-1840
Captain Dodd, Military Sec'retary and aide-de-camp to the Duke of Kent, is commanded by His Royal Highness to inform Captain Bouchette that conceiving lt might be an object of great convenience to him to retire from his present laborious situation, provided he could be permitted to retain his whole pay, as his retreat the Duke has taken an opportunity of sounding the Lords of the Treasury upon the subject, and has reason from their answers to think that if a Memorial were pre sented from Captain Bouchette, stating his long and faithful services and advanced age, and praying leave to retire upon his full pay, it would be attended with success.
