Malta: 1805 document with printed heading “BY MAJOR GENERAL VILLETTES, Commanding HIS MAJESTY’s/FORCES in the Islands of MALTA and GOZO” granting a six month leave of absence “with the charge of invalids” for Thomas Carey, Assistant Surgeon with the 20th Regiment of Foot, and signed. Lieutenant-General William Anne Villettes (1754-1808) saw distinguished service at the Siege of Toulon and Invasion of Corsica, later undertaking an unsuccessful mission to Corfu to raise an army of Albanian irregulars. In 1802 he became the commander in chief of the British Army in the Mediterranean and in 1807 was sent as military commander in chief to the Colony of Jamaica but died shortly thereafter of a fever whilst on a tour of the island.
