Note 97 — SECTION XXXIV: CHAPTER III

H. Sydenham to Henry Wellesley, printed in Wellington Supplementary Dispatches, vii. pp. 464-5. Sydenham understates, however, the available force when he says that Anson had only 460 sabres and Bock only two squadrons. Hodenberg diminishes less, but still too much, when he gives Bock 300 sabres and Anson 600. The real numbers are given above.
