Note 282 — SECTION XIX: CHAPTER V
Reading edition
These were Napoleon’s dispatches nos. 16,505, 16,519-20, and 16,504, as is shown by the excellent analysis of them given by D’Urban in his diary. He read them over with Beresford on July 1. No. 16,519 was very valuable, as giving the exact strength of the 2nd, 6th, and 8th Corps—the first absolutely certain analysis of them that Wellington obtained.
