Unto His Majesty the King

From the hand of The Right Honorable, The Viscount Sidmouth

Sir,

Please be assured that I am well aware of the outbreaks of violence that are occurring throughout the realm. We are using all available means at our disposal to thwart the growing threat of insurgency in the northern realm. The unruly mob continues to be stirred by radical rhetoric which, sadly, shows no sign of abatement. Sir Rupert Burney is proceeding with our strategy of ferreting out enemies to the Crown and using them to expose violent radicals and others who oppose decency and order. The militias remain on alert, and we are in discussion with the War Secretary, Lord Bathurst, about adding regiments—English, not Scottish—to the contingents in Edinburgh Castle, Fort William, and Fort George.

With regard to the other matter of import, Sir Rupert informs me that the so-called “son of Scotland” has not yet returned to our shores. In the meantime, he has successfully recruited the best possible man to infiltrate the delegation chosen to represent the former Princess of Wales. Our man is a former officer in the Royal 42nd Highland Regiment whose sister was instrumental in the formation, in Edinburgh, of a group of radical reformers hostile to the positions of the government and to your leadership. The woman has been taken into custody to ensure the loyalty of said officer.

As always, I shall keep you informed of further developments.

I remain, Sir,

Your Most Obedient Servant
