British P.O.Ws in Guadeloupe. 1795 (July 26) Entire letter written by Brigadier General Colin Graham of the 21st Foot held prisoner of war at Pointe a Pitre, sent to the Paymaster General of H.M Forces in London (no address panel), informing him he has drawn three bills for å£1200 for use of the officers held prisoner; the prisoners are in a deplorable state and no subsistence has been received since February, since when the prisoners have been living in prison ships and subsisting on salt rations. Graham lists 55 officers held by rank, of which he is the most senior. An interesting historic letter, the officers presumably captured when the French retook the island in June 1794 after a brief ten week occupation by the British.

Odiham - Naval P.O.W from Haiti. 1806 (Apr 14) Letter written by Henry Barré, Captain of the frigate "Surveillante" whilst on parole at "Odhiam, Hantz", written on printed "Armee de St. Domingue. Henry Barré, Capitaine de Vaisseau et Commandant les Forces Navales a Saint-Domingue" notepaper, to Charles James Fox, Minister of Foreign Affairs, asking for his assistance over the exchange of prisoners. Barré was captured in 1803, the same year the French finally evacuated the island of Haiti (Santo Domingo). No address panel, but still a very unusual use of "Armee de St. Domingue" notepaper by a prisoner in England.

British P.O.W. from Jersey. 1812 (Jan 25) Letter to the French Minister of War - "I, Jean Le Roux, English Prisoner originally from the Island of Jersey embarked as a passenger on the "Lord Nelson" schooner and on 6th march 1807 was taken by the French Corsair "The Prince Jerome" and led to the depot of Sarrelouis. In 1810 the Minister of War arranged for me to stay in the parish of Moulines at the residence of the Mayor Mr Van Borcel. This was difficult as Mr Van Borcel had ten children. As at Sarrelouis I have been a prisoner of war. I write to ask if I may be of service to your Empire in exchange for my freedom". The Mayor has added a note confirming the facts, and that Le Roux's conduct has been good and he has adhered to the laws, and applied his handstamp. Annotated "Refused, Return him to depot". An interesting letter, not posted.
