Note 330 — SECTION XXXII: CHAPTER V

See the Life of Surgeon-General Sir Jas. McGrigor, pp. 284-96. I have before me, among the Scovell papers, Grant’s original signed parole as far as Bayonne, witnessed by General Lamartinière, the chief of Marmont’s staff. It was captured by Guerrilleros in Castile, and sent to Wellington. Accompanying it is the General’s private letter, commending Grant to the attention of the French police, with the explanation that he was only not treated as a spy because he was captured in British uniform, though far in the rear of the French outpost line.
