explaining that, had Harcourt been with the Army, he would not have given consent to "Hawkins' expedition to England, which cou'd serve no good purpose", but which "makes it necessary for you to forego your wishes of coming here, more especially as the embarkation takes place on Friday next", as to promotion, "I have it in contemplation to propose you for my second Majority, whenever you can arrange the money part of the business", and recommending him to write "to Sr. Wm. Lee upon the subject without loss of time", Harcourt has written to Sir William "respecting the payment of that part of your outfit which he engaged for", telling Sir William that by promotion Captain Lee had realized "a Commission ... worth 3000 Guineas", but that Harcourt "had every reason to be satisfied with your good conduct", on the other hand "the peculiar situation of my Regiment makes it absolutely necessary for me to look for a more experienced Officer, one better acquainted with Regimental details whenever the whole of the business is brought forward", assuring him that "I will not forget your friend Butler for a Colonelcy, tho' my first object must be to provide for Bennet", given the latter's "attention to his duty and attachment to the Regiment ... I shall hope to be with you in a few days", and ending "Yours sincerely and affectionately", 5 sides 4to, address panel on side 6, London, 10th March no year but apparently
