1815 (June 25) Letter written and signed by Wellington from Cateau to the Austrian General Baron Vincent who was wounded at Waterloo, written in French just a week after the battle, the letter includes "I assure you that I have very much regretted your wound and I did all I could to see you the 19th when I was in Brussels but it was not possible. For my part your conference is hardly possible at present but I expect the King here tomorrow and perhaps M. de Talleyrand will come with him. We are blockading Quenoi and Valenciennes, the Prussians Landrex and Maubenge. The garrisons are all National Guards. I will send you a copy of my report on the battle for the Prince Schwartzenberg". A fine signed letter sent just after Waterloo, no address panel.
