22615'Rotterdam Dec 13' on paper with watermark date 1830. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition on lightly-aged paper with minor traces of tape from mount adhering along one edge. Endorsed 'Genl. Wm. Napier'. On wove paper with watermark 'CANSELL 1830'. The letter - written with energy and some resentment - refers to Admiral Sir William Parker 1781-1866 who was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1815. It is headed 'Private & Confidential' and begins: 'My dear Macdonald In reflection I decided not to ask for the rank you suggested because I thought it might be considered a personal favor & not an act which conferred personal dignity on one of the King's Agents & I detest asking for favors especially from persons unwilling to grant them.' He continues: 'Lord Palmeston ought to see & judge himself whether or not the public service is benefitted by such rank being conferred my own belief is that when An Agent goes amongst these Military Nations where Military rank is alone considered the higher the rank of the Agent the easier he can do his duty.' Nevertheless Napier will not ask '& without asking nothing is given in England'. He continues: 'I think I was ill used in not having the 2d Order of the Bath given to me when it was given to Adl. Parker. We were colleagues on the same station he a New Admiral I a Brigadier General with fuller powers than he had for when two Ministers like Asses sent our fleet to Sea where it remained at a great expense from near 2 to the Nation I alone had the Power to call it into the Tagus & did call it into the Tagus on my own responsiblity which act was approved of by the Ministry. However they gave Parker the Bath & not me but I certainly shall not ask for it. Nor have I ever nor shall I ever complain of not having it & say to to you & to you alone in strict Confidence'.

As a member of Kings Own Regiment Dragoons Blands Dragoons Brown demonstrated extraordinary courage by reclaiming his regiments standard after it had fallen into enemy hands.
