I did myself the pleasure, on the 21st of October, 1810, to commemorate the natal 
day of Lord Eardley, by composing the music of an ode, for three voices, written 
on the occasion. It was sung by my brother, Captain Kelly, Mr. Bellamy, and 
myself, at Belvidere, before a large company invited on the occasion, amongst 
whom were all the artillery officers from Woolwich: their band was also in 
attendance: The day was passed with great hilarity, our noble host was in high 
spirits; and as the jovial glass went round, told a number of anecdotes; among 
others, one that seemed to amuse his visitors very much.
