Letter sent from Mons, 25 June 1815
The unknown writer of this manuscript letter appears to have been a senior officer. The letter describes both the Battle of Waterloo (1815) and its aftermath, including Bonaparte's second abdication and the fall of Cambrai to the Allies. The final part of the letter is missing.
From a collection of military papers from the Phipps family.
