I found this letter from the past really interesting.
It was written by Thomas Peters, at 6 Gt Ormond St. London, to Capt. H Shippard
at 28 Rue de Laecken Brussels, Belgium.
The Army Lists show that in 1830 Capt. Shippard was in the 29th Regiment of
Foot, and that he was placed on half pay on 17 Apr 1835.
