The following Provincial Order was issued by Lieut.-Colonel Campbell, commanding the provinces of Malabar and Canara, on the inspection and review of the regiment at Cannanore on the 31st of May, 1826:--
"_Head Quarters, Malabar and Canara, Cannanore, 31st May, 1826._
"Lieut.-Colonel Campbell cannot permit the present half-yearly inspection and review of His Majesty's FORTY-SIXTH regiment to pass over without expressing to Major Wallis, and the officers and men under his command, the high sense he entertains of the improved state of discipline and order of the regiment, in every respect, of which he will not fail to make the most favorable report.[18]
"It is with heartfelt regret the Lieut.-Colonel has learnt, that the FORTY-SIXTH regiment is likely soon to lose the valuable services of Major Wallis, who has ever been enthusiastic in doing all which could contribute to the advantage and credit of the corps, and whose ability, zeal, and talents in command of it, are evinced by the perfection to which he has brought the regiment in the revised system of discipline, and the excellent state of its interior economy.
"After an intimate friendship of twenty-three years, as a brother officer, Lieut.-Colonel Campbell trusts he may be permitted thus publicly to express his sentiments of Major Wallis's merits and worth, and to lament the loss which he, individually, must sustain, when deprived of the cordial, zealous, and able support that has invariably been afforded to him by this meritorious officer.
"When Major Wallis withdraws from the active duties of his profession, he will be accompanied in his retirement by the most fervent wishes of Lieutenant-Colonel Campbell for his future welfare, happiness, and prosperity.
"By order, (Signed) "A. H. COLBERG, _Captain_, "_Major of Brigade_."
