(1st Viscount, 1785-1856, Army Officer and Politician) saying that he will “be much disposed to suggest to the Duke of Argyle, when he recommends to me Captain Duncan Campbell - that he ought to propose the appointment of a more efficient officer. My brother will mention to you that I approve of your suggestions for enforcing the existing law in respect to all future appointments to Militia Adjutancies - and for imposing some new restriction as to the age of the Adjutant. I doubt a little the Policy of excluding Embodied Militia Service - as a qualification for an Adjutancy, and confiining the appointment to the Line. It might increase the efficiency of the Adjutant, but we must take care not to dissatisfy the Militia Service...”, 2 sides 4to., Whitehall, 20th December
