Letter from Donald McLeod of Geanies, to the General Complaining that the public despatches which the General had sent to the authorities dealing with the disaster at El Hamid in which the writer's son, Lieutenant-Colonel McLeod was killed, never did justice to McLeod's gallent resistance. Asks if it is not too late to put the record more in accordance with the facts. [Marked 'E11' in red.] January 15th 1808
