This note appears on the first blank leaf in a contemporary hand: "For [a] Character of Montgaillard see W. Wickham's dispatch (no 111) to Lord Greville 28 Decr 1796. W.

The reference to "Pg. 3" may be to another item, as there is no pencil note on page 3 here, but Montgaillard mentions Wickham on numerous pages, and a letter from Wickham, using his nom de guerre of Bluet, is quoted on pp. 138 - 139. Montgaillard (1761 - 1841), an author and French political agent, was employed by Louis XVIII. to secure Austrian intervention on behalf of Mme Royale (afterwards duchess of Angoulme), still a prisoner in the Temple, and he drew up the proposition made by the prince to Charles Pichegru.
