Abrantes, 22 June 1809 The French movement induced Cuesta to accept Wellesley’s proposals. Beresford left to return to the Douro-Minho and arrangements are now being made for the advance to Placencia. Would help if they really knew what was expected of them. Difficulties in getting supplies from Lisbon. Cadogan will deliver Stewart’s despatch. If Castlereagh sends cavalry toGermany asks not to be forgotten Cuesta has entered Truxillo and restored the bridge at Almarez. French have left Estremadura and are heading for Madrid. – From: Londonderry Estates – Additional Records Acc: 1193(D),Despatches from Charles William Stewart (1778-1854), Lord Stewart to Robert Stewart (1769-1822), Viscount Castlereagh, from the Peninsula, volume 2
