Ensign Alferes Juan Julian O'Sulivan of the Edinburgh Dragoons, an Irish regiment in the Spanish Army, is reviewed by his commanding officer. Reportedly Ensign O'Sulivan "has great ability but his marriage to a lady of quality has involved him in a number of lawsuits, causing his frequent absense from duty." Recommendation: he is to be brought to heel - or discharged.
Others reviewed include Edwardo Stapleton, who is given to drunkenness, and Cornelio Conway, who is bright in Mathematics, and Captain Domingo Hickey who has "a deceitful nature, shies away from work, and is artful, persuasive, and poisonous."
