Somerset writes regarding the prudence of showing a copy of Napier's letter to Lord ?Doukes.
At this time he was serving as military secretary at the Horse Guards, a position he held for 25 years. He rose to the rank of Field Marshall in the British Army, acting as Commander-in-Chief in the Crimean War.
The recipient of this letter, Knatchbull, was Paymaster General at this time. An engraved portrait of Somerset is included.
