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_. I.--To H. G. D. In corroboration of your statement, that the correct date of Wolfe's birth is 2nd January, 1727 (not 1726, as alleged by some), I am enabled to cite his own authority. One of his autograph letters in my possession, dated Glasgow, 2nd April, 1749, states, "_I am but twenty-two and three months_;" which answers precisely to your time. You mention that his mother came from, or near, Deptford, and that her Christian name was Henrietta. I am enabled to mention that her surname was _Thompson_, and that her brother Edward was member of parliament for Plymouth, prior to 1759. Does this give you any clue to Wolfe's mother's family; and particularly whether his maternal grandfather was a military man? May I further inquire-- 1. Whether Wolfe's _father_ was a native of Westerham; or merely quartered there when his illustrious son was born? 2. You allude to two houses at Westerham. Were these General Edward Wolfe's property; or if not, what had led to the family residing there so long, as they seem, from your remarks, to have done? 3. Who was Sir Jeffrey Amherst, and in what manner did he "patronise Wolfe"? Was he any relation of the General Amherst, commander-in-chief in British America, who was to have supported young Wolfe in the attack on Quebec in 1759. 4. Who is the present representative of Wolfe's family? You mention that you are uncertain when and where James Wolfe _first_ served. I have experienced the very same difficulty. It seems strange that his biographers have been so meagre in the details of his life. It has been said that Wolfe's first effort in arms was as a volunteer under his father, in the unlucky expedition against Carthagena, in 1740, commanded by Lord Cathcart. But I cannot find proper authority for this.
