"It is with the deepest concern, I mention the loss of Captains
Moss and Riou; two very brave and gallant officers, whose loss, as
I am well informed, will be sensibly felt by the families they have

appointed Major-General Ernest Frederic Walterstorff, Chamberlain
to his Danish Majesty, and Colonel to a Regiment; and
Adjutant-General Hans Lindholm, Captain in his Danish Majesty's
Navy; his Commissioners for agreeing
