of the whole.  At the end of the campaign Levis reckons the remaining English troops at about six thousand (Levis au Ministre, 10 Nov. 1759), which answers to the report of General Murray:  “The troops will amount to six thousand” (Murray to Pitt, 12 Oct. 1759).  The precise number is given in the Return of the State of His Majesty’s Forces left in Garrison at Quebec, dated 12 Oct. 1759, and signed, Robert Monckton (Public Record Office, America and West Indies, XCIX.).  This shows the total of rank and file to have been 6,214, which the addition of officers, sergeants, and drummers raises to about seven thousand, besides 171 artillerymen.

Chapter 27.  The Heights of Abraham

One of the most important unpublished documents on Wolfe’s operations against Quebec is the long and elaborate Journal memoratif de ce qui s’est passe de plus remarquable pendant qu’a dure le Siege de la Ville de Quebec (Archives de la Marine).  The writer, M. de Foligny, was a naval officer who during the siege commanded one of the principal batteries of the town.  The official correspondence of Vaudreuil for 1759 (Archives Nationales) gives the events of the time from his point of view; and various manuscript letters of Bigot, Levis, Montreuil, and others (Archives de la Marine, Archives de la Guerre) give additional particulars.  The letters, generally private and confidential, written to Bourlamaque by Montcalm, Levis, Vaudreuil, Malartic, Berniers, and others during the siege contain much that is curious and interesting.
