No. VIII.
Copy of a Letter from Lieutenant Maitland to
Lieutenant-Colonel Innes.
Sir,
I have this moment understood that you have found it necessary to report my conduct to the Commander-in-Chief. As I am not conscious of any misconduct, it is probable I may have something to allege in my defence; I therefore beg leave to request a copy of your report, or at least to be made acquainted with its purport.
(Signed) G. G. MAITLAND,
Lieutenant of the Madras European
Regiment.
Masulipatam,
24th May, 1809.
