The order by Admiral Collingwood was for a day of thanksgiving after the battle of Trafalgar. It is couched in deeply religious terms which is no doubt the reason for Gordon copying it out. There is a note below, signed by T. Fraser: The above was sent to me by Charlie Gordon after a conversation on the subject.
