Letter to the General from J.R.Mackenzie (Suddie) Pointing out that with one battalion in India and the other at home, there was a great disadvantage in making the officers interchangeable. He goes on to suggest that the 2nd Battalion should be numbered as a new regiment and that he should be given the command, as this would settle the problem. [Marked 'C29' in red.] January 17th 1805
