_Colonel Brock to the Adjutant-General of His Majesty's Forces._

QUEBEC, March 17, 1807.

In obedience to the commander-in-chief's commands,
communicated to me in your letter dated 20th November last, I
shall proceed to state, for His Royal Highness's information,
such observations as a strict attention to the conduct and
interior economy of the 100th[21] regiment during the
preceding six months has enabled me to make.

The greatest praise is justly due to Lieut.-Colonel Murray,
who has commanded, with only a short interval, from the first
formation of the regiment to the present time, for his
unremitting care and attention to the several important duties
of his office.

The good effects of his exertions and intelligence are
strikingly visible in every department of the corps. He has
been ably supported by Major Hamilton and the rest of his
officers, who on all occasions evince the utmost zeal for the
service, and the highest respect and attachment towards his
person. He has succeeded in establishing an interior
discipline and economy, which I have never before witnessed in
so young a corps, and scarcely seen surpassed by any, and in a
way too the most satisfactory to the feelings of an officer.
