LONDON.
Copy of a Paragraph in a Letter from the Earl of Pembroke to Field Marshal Lord Viscount Ligonier, and Sent by his Lordship to the Countess Dowager of Pembroke.
Saxenhausen Camp, July 20. 1760
Having before troubled your Lordship with a Letter, signifying the Honour the Duke had done me in sending for me to camp from off the March before the Regiment, to order me to act here as Major General, by which I had the Misfortune to miss being with the Regiment which did so wonderfully, only beg Leave now to enclose Part of this Day's Orders, hoping the very great Merit of my Friend Erskine will not be overlooked.
Saxenhausen Camp. July 20. 1760.
His Serene Highness Orders it to be publickly testified to the whole Army, how much he is charmed and satisfied with the good Conduct and Valour of the Corps that fought on the 16th Instant under the Orders of the Hereditary Prince.
The Praises his Serene Highness gave of them to the Duke were such that nothing can be said in Addition to them.
His Serene Highness therefore gives his best Thanks to those brave Troops, and particularly Elliot's Regiment, which was allowed by every Body present to have done Wonders.
His Serene Highness the Prince could not enough commend to the Duke, the Bravery, good Conduct, and good Countenance with which that Regiment fought.
His Serene Highness desires much to be able to find Means to acknowledge to Major Erskine principally, who was at the Head of that Regiment, and lead it so galliantly, as well as to the Officers and Men, his real Satisfaction, and to have it in his Power to do them Service. He desires those Gentlemen to furnish him with an Opportunity of doing it, and he shall seize it with Pleasure.
