Note 454 — SECTION XXXIII: CHAPTER V
Reading edition
See Wellington to Lord Liverpool, June 18. Dispatches, ix. p. 241, and June 25, p. 253. There was also in Wellington’s hands an intercepted letter of Joseph to Soult of May 26, distinctly saying that if Marmont is attacked in June, D’Erlon must pass the Tagus and go to his help. This is in the Scovell ciphers.
