    Seven Years War 1759 (Oct 22): Entire letter written from John Dunnett at Crown Point, north of Fort Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain, addressed to Capt. John Sutherland of Forres, Caithness via Edinburgh, Scotland cancelled in transit by fine "NEW / YORK" handstamp in red ink, charged in manuscript "1N10" (1s. 10d.), with 1s. for the Packet rate and 10d. internal charge. A fascinating letter: "General Amherst has given us short warning of a Pacquet's going to Britain...I shall only inform you that the Campaign is over and all your friends and acquantances in this Army are healthy. When we get into winter quarters I will write you whole sheets of paper. General Amherst with all the regulars in his Army, embarked at this place on the 11th instant, with a view to drive the French from the Isle de Noix and St. John's and so penetrate into the heart of Canada...The story of Quebec's being reduced (Sept 13, 1759) General Wolfe's death and all other circumstances of that interesting conquest, you will undoubtedly have before this arrives...". A splendid and historic entire.rnNote: Isle de Noix fell to the British in August 1760. The last French Governor-General of New France, Pierre François de Rigaud, Marquis de Vaudreuil-Cavagnal, surrendered to the British under General Amherst on September 8, 1760.

It was in this town that the last of the Frenchmen in this part of the Island were butchered in cold blood by the Haytian Emperor Desalines after guaranteeing their safety..".
