Naval History of whom your ancestor may be one, but he is not easy to trace. The most likely one is the Moore who, when a midshipman, was wounded in the return passage of the Dardanelles in 1807, as his ship, the Thunderer, fought at Trafalgar. His initial is not known.
Yours faithfully

Dear Sir
I should apologize for not replying to your letter before but the fact is that I have been away and had no copy of "Trafalgar" with me. I wanted to refer to it, as I rather think the word "Monday" to which you refer was altered in proof to "Thursday" by me; I did not get a second proof of this part. Or it may have been wrong in the original - I cannot remember which - but I do remember something passing through my mind about it. I am obliged to you for calling my attention to it and will make a correction if necessary, should there be a second edition.
