Not illustrated. 1837 edition. Excerpt: ... I have the honor to be, &c.  C. Stuart, Esq.   Wellington. Lieut. General Viscount Wellington, K.B., to C. Stuart, Esq.  My Dear Sir,  Cartaxo, 3rd March, 1811.  I have received your letter of the 2nd instant. One of the anonymous letters to me is positively written by Principal Souza. Two others are, I think, written by the Bishop; but of this last I cannot be so certain, as his note to Baron Eben is written upon good paper, with a good pen; the letters written by the same person to me are upon bad, brown paper, with a bad pen. The characters in both are very similar; and I have but little doubt that the letters are written by the Bishop. It would be very desirable to see more of his writing, if you can get some for me. If I can prove the fact clearly, I shall send the letters to the Prince Regent, that he may see what clever fellows the Governors of the kingdom are.  The British army are now nearly two months in arrears of the usual mode of payment, and I believe there is no money now in the military chest. I will, however, speak to the Commissary General; but is it not desirable to come to a settlement with the Portuguese Government, at least up to the close of the last year?  You do not mention the dates of the accounts from Sampayo from Alexandria.  We must think of some means of getting more grain, otherwise this miserable people will starve.  Believe me, &c.  C. Stuart, Esq.  Wellington.  1 sent you, on the 25th August, a letter from Principal Souza to me, of the 15th August, which you never returned to me, but which would be likely to throw more light on the anonymous letter, and probably enable me to do with it what I wish. Lieut. General Viscount Wellington, K.B., to C. Stuart, Esq. Sir,  Cartaxo, 3rd...</p>
