| Description | Acknowledging his report ['See MS 3470/6/1/1635 above'] and stating that in the General's opinion everything turns on the expected arrival of the Mamelouks, so that he feels it would be a mistake to leave the present position and go to the siege of St Julian. However, failing the arrival of the Mamelouks, the General feels that he should leave the decision to Stewart to abandon any idea of an attack on Fort St Julian and indeed to withdraw altogether from the Rosetta position. |
