Note 355 — SECTION XXVI: CHAPTER II
Reading edition
Wellington to Beresford, April 14th: ‘Sir William Erskine did not send a detachment across the Agueda in time, as I had desired him, and the consequence is that the French got their convoy into Ciudad Rodrigo yesterday morning.... It is useless now to keep anybody on the other side of the Agueda.’ Dispatches, vii. 467.
