Evidence: | John Wilson Croker to John Murray jr, 14 February 1857:
'I have been so very ill as to have been unable until yesterday to look at the Raglan article in the last Quarterly [...] In reading it, however, I find a statement that the Duke of Wellington "had been often heard to say in after years that there were two or three periods of the battle of Waterloo when he thought it all over with us." I am very curious to know that reviewer's authority for this statement [discusses article further, referring to other accounts of battle and Welington] [...]
'I write with difficulty and in great pain, but I am anxious to record my evidence on this particular point which had from the first excited my surrpise and curiosity'. |
