Photocopies of manuscript letters relating to the attempt of Col The Hon W Monson to suceed Sir Thomas Musgrave as Colonel of the 76th Foot, September 1807. Sent to Dr Vaughan in Curzon Street, it consists of a letter to 'My Lord' asking him to submit an enclosed memorial to the Duke of York. Moson (Lt Col of the 76th) thought that Musgrave had recently died, but in fact he lived to 31 Dec 1812 and was succeeded as Colonel by SIr George Prevost. Originals in Leicestershire Record Office.
