ADDITIONAL QUERIES RESPECTING GENERAL JAMES WOLFE.
(Vol. iv., pp. 271. 322.)
I beg to thank the six gentlemen who have so promptly and courteously responded to my Queries respecting this admirable soldier. The information they have communicated is valuable and interesting, and tends to remove much of the obscurity that had attended my researches into the earlier portion of his history; and I feel greatly obliged to your correspondents. Still, some of my Queries are unanswered, and I venture to repeat these, in the hope that the information wanted may be elicited.
1. Where was James Wolfe educated?
2. His first, and subsequent, military services?
3. How long was he stationed in Scotland; on what duty; and in what places? [He was in the North in 1749 and 1750; but I have reason to believe some years earlier.]
4. Was he at the battle of Culloden, in 1746?
As some of the gentlemen, in kindly answering my inquiries, have raised certain points on which additional information may be mutually given and received, I take leave to offer the following remarks to these respondents, seriatim.
