Text: Many thanks [.] | I think one or possibly two Eagles [Standards] were found in the Coira by the Peasantry some time after the affair of Foz de Arouce but Lord J Somerset can give you accurate information on the subject. I have been looking into the Dukes [Wellington's] dispatches since I received your letter but cannot find any mention of them as yet, I have a faint recollection of Colin Campbell having first mentioned it when the Dukes head quarters were near Elvas durinf the Ist Siege of Badajos[.] [Y]ou will be happy to hear that our most gracious and kind Mistress is in excellent health [see image for text at this point] [Postscript] I have foundthe Eagle in page 78 - vol 8 of the Duke's despatches". Note: "Wilson" was perhaps "General Sir Robert Thomas Wilson (17 August 1777 9 May 1849) was a British general and politician who served in Flanders, Egypt, the Iberian Peninsula, Prussia, and was seconded to the Imperial Russian Army in 1812. He sat as the Whig Member of Parliament (MP) for Southwark from 1818 to 1831. He served as the Governor of Gibraltar from 1842 until his death in 1849." [Wikipedia].
