Extract, Hudson Lowe
“You will propose to General Bonaparte the regular admission of the orderly officer a personal interview between the hour of nine and eleven every morning and evening, leaving it to his discretion each day to select within the time limited the precise moment at which he may prefer admitting the officer. You will acquaint him also that upon his acquiescence to this arrangement, you are authorized to relax the other restrictions so far as to admit of his taking exercise either on foot , in a carriage or on horseback through the greater part of the island, unattended by a British officer, but subject always to the regulations as to hours which are at present in force and to assure him that in such case the sentries will in future only be posted round Longwood from the time in the evening at which he may have admitted the orderly officer until the hour at which he may again receive him on the following morning.”
“You will point out to General Bonaparte that in leaving it to him to fix the time within the limit assigned at which he will admit the orderly officer to a personal interview, and directing that until such interview, the sentries shall not be placed round his house, whatever inconvenience he may have occasionally complained of by the early posting of the sentries will in future be entirely removed.”
“As there is not the same reason for extending this indulgence to the followers of General Bonaparte, you will explain that except at the time when they shall be in personal attendance upon him in these excursions whatever regulations are now in force with respect to them must be continued.”
I have etc.[^1]
