    (Copy.) No. 9. Wimpole Street, October^ 17, 1816. Sir, In compliance with your request, that I would state my opimon of your conduct, as one of the principal surgeons of the Naval Hospital, at Stonehouse, I have the pleasure in stating, from the reports of all the officers who visited the hospital, and from my own observation, the attention shewn to the sick and wounded seamen was such as did great cre- dit to you. Of your professional skill I was incapable of forming any judgment; but I have great satisfaction in say- ing, that when spoken of by those who were competent to form an opinion, it was spoken of with commendation. I am. Sir, Your most obedient Servant, (Signed) WILLIAM YOUNG. (G. C. B. and Late Vice-Admiral of Great Britain.) To Dr. Veitch. (Copy.) No. 10. London, June 7, 1815. My Lord, At the request of Dr. Veitch, I beg leave to state to your Lordship, that in 1798, detachments of officers, seamen, and marines, were landed, under my command, from a squa- dron under the orders of Admiral Richard Rodney Bligh, to support the garrison of Fort Irois, St. Domingo, then closely besieged by a powerful black force.
