When retiring from this distinguished situation, the general and field-officers of the army requested of him to accept the record of their esteem, affection, and respect, in a valuable service of plate, which they presented to him. His loss will be long deplored by those friends who experienced the undeviating sincerity of his regard, as well as by a very numerous circle of acquaintances, whom he ever enlivened by the most pleasing conversation, and received with the frankest hospitality. In public life he was a strict observer of discipline, zealous, skilful, brave, and of unshaken fidelity. |
