Note 13 — REAR-ADMIRAL SIR FREDERICK LEWIS MAITLAND, K.C.B. (continued 4)
Reading edition
Footnote 13: [I think the handsome and gentlemanlike account of Madame Bertrand is a complete amende honorable for anything said of her in the course of the journal, and forms a complete refutation to the objections made in the sense of delicacy towards that lady for mentioning some part of the conversation when in warmer moments. If you were to mention your having afterwards met her in France, I think it would be interesting.—Scott.][Back to Main Text]
