Sir, I have the honor to transmit to you copies of the Thanks of both Houses of Parliament...

Brief note introducing two letters, one from the House of Lords, and the other one from the House of Commons, giving thanks to the Local Militia, Yeomanry and Volunteer Cavalry and Infantry of Great Britain for his meritorious conduct during the War. Dated on 5 and 6 of July of 1814. The War they are referring too are Napoleonic Wars between Britain and Franc,which lasted, with two brief intervals, from 1793 to 1815, and that not only caused a dramatic increase in auxiliary forces raised for internal defense but also led the creation of a Scottish Militia and the formation of numerous Volunteer Corps.
