Letter from British soldier datelined Frederiksberg 17 August 1807 to London, Great Britain. The writer, Jackson, writes '' 'I've arriv'd at this place on the 17th and much to my surprise without opposition.

We expected a formidable resistance here, but after some shew of cavalry - the Danes retired''. ''I am well mounted on a Danish post horse taken the first day and he is worth bringing to England.''.
