Excerpt from Memoirs and Correspondence of Field-Marshal Viscount Combermere, G. C. B., Etc., From His Family Papers, Vol. 2 of 2 Cotton was everything a father could wish but the capricious hand of death was already stretched out to pluck the fair young flower. The intercourse of the proud parent with his promising son lasted only a few short months, the more sweet because so long deferred, and then Stapleton Cotton once more beheld his dearest affections buried in the tomb. But let us not anticipate the sad moment. In December, 1821, Lord Combermere assembled a large party of relations and friends at the Abbey, to celebrate the christening of his second son, who had only been baptized in Barbadoes. The two godfathers were the Dukes of Wellington. And Newcastle, who were both present on the occasion, and after whom the child was named Wellington Henry. Among the other distinguished guests who composed the party was the late Earl of Ellesmere, then Lord Francis Egerton, who had married Miss Greville, a cousin of Lady Combermere.
