Description:
The letter relates to general family news. Cathcart is to visit Hamilton next month and he reports that his brother has finished 'the difficult business' and 'with a hand so masterly that History will perpetuate the recollection'. (By 1807, Cathcart's brother, William Schaw Cathcart, was Commander-in-Chief of the military forces in Scotland, although much of his tenure was taken up with actions on the Continent. In the latter part of this year there was a fear that the French may attempt to commandeer the Danish Fleet then at Copenhagen and Cathcart was sent to the area to himself take over the fleet and attempt control of the city. After the Dutch refused to surrender the city was laid siege to and the British took control. Cathcart was awarded a peerage on his return).
