Autograph letter signed : Stratfield Saye, to Lady Chesterfield, 1841 Dec. 12.

Regarding her wish that he appoint her brother as Aide de Camp which, to men that have served in the Army, is "not very unlike the recommendation of a Lady to a Gentleman for his wife!"; suggesting that "such things may be done.
