"P.S. I recommended this arrangement to Her Majesty, principally on the ground that it would be satisfactory to you, as this was the only one of Her Majesty's Regiments in India engaged in the two glorious battles fought at Meeanee and Hyderabad, in Scinde; and Her Majesty was graciously pleased to approve of the recommendation on that ground."
