English to Spanish Other Military / Defense 19th Century War Dispatch

Se trata de unas cartas con partes militares del siglo 19, concretamente de la Guerra de la Independencia española de 1812. Se trata de una transcripción de las cartas manuscritas originales, que tuve ocasión de ver y finalmente transcribió otra persona.

"Sir,
I feel encouraged from the constant proofs I have had the honor to receive of Your Excellency’s obliging disposition to afford me every assistance in the execution of the Public Service, ***to avoid myself of*** the present opportunity upon the return of Admiral Hollowell from the Coast to intreat that Your Excellency will be pleased to represent to our Ambassador in Spain, as well as to our Government at Home, the result of the Admiral’s own personal view of the Spanish Division under my Command, & the state of forwardness & discipline in which he found it, as it is a matter of infinite satisfaction, & importance to me, that an officer of the Admiral’s high rank & experience should have been enabled to form his own judgment, upon the improved state of these Troops under the Command of a British Officer. In spite of a thousand difficulties His Excellency Adm[ira]l Sir E[dward] Pellew B[arone]t difficulties which I have had to contend against, I can now venture to assert confidently that I have fulfilled even beyond my own most sanguine hopes, every expectation which our Government could have promised itself, in this arduous undertaking, & I will be bound to prove, at an expence to England of one third less than any other Corps upon a similar Establishment in the Peninsula."
