Excerpt from Memoirs of George Elers, Captain in the 12th Regiment of Foot (1777-1842): To Which Are Added Correspondence and Other Papers With Genealogy and Notes With reference to the correspondence which follows the Memoirs, and which, together with them, came into my grandfather's possession, a selection has been made of such letters as would seem to possess enough interest to justify their publication. Of the letters from the Duke of Well ington, that written in India when he was Colonel Wellesley (stated by the Captain to have been written in 1802, but which is dated November 19, 1801) corroborates the statements made by Captain Blers in his autobiography of his intimacy with the Duke in early days; whilst those addressed to Captain Blers by his cousin, Miss Maria Edge worth, may confidently be expected to possess a certain attraction for all who admire the writings of that talented authoress. I am also fortified in my estimate of the interest of the Memoirs by the testimony of Miss Edgeworth herself, as expressed in one of her letters.
