This letter highlights the discussion between Nelson and Parker about the tactics that were to be used in the forthcoming Battle of Copenhagen. It is worth noting that such a discussion was taking place between senior (Parker) and junior (Nelson) officers. Moreover it underlines Nelson’s sense of urgency for immediate and direct action counterbalanced with forward thinking.
