Note 240 — SECTION XXIV: CHAPTER II

Wellington to Beresford, from Celorico, March 30: ‘Yesterday we manœuvred the French out of Guarda. Masséna was there, some say with his whole army, I think certainly with two corps: not a shot was fired.’ (Dispatches, vii. 412.) Same day to Charles Stuart: ‘They were much stronger than we: I had only three divisions on the hill.’ (Dispatches, vii. 418.)
