1760 Quebec siege and Atlantic naval actions summary
A long letter from James Murray details the Quebec siege and the Canadian campaign in 1760. It covers troop dispositions at the Heights, fighting on both wings, and heavy casualties on both sides. The narrative praises Major Dalling and Commodore Swanton, notes fortifications, and mentions later naval actions around Quebec and Caribbean stations. It also reports movements of British ships, captures, and hoped cooperation with Amherst toward completing the Canadian reduction.
