M. CHARLES SAUNDERS AU MARQUIS DE YAUDREUIL OU AU CHEVALIER DE LÉVIS

Sterling-Castle, Ist October, 1759.

Sir,

I hâve the honor of your letter of the 29th October. But as the exchanging or ransoming of prison ers, belonging to the troops, is quite ont of my province, I naust refer you to gênerai Amherst, or to gênerai Howe, for the settling that matter. I hâve, since the 18th instant, ordered ail the prisoners taken by me npon the river before that time, to be put on shore. The number of which, infînitely exceeds the number of English seamen taken since my arrivai hère,

When the vessels come down the river, which I hâve permitted so to do, they shall be permitted to return with such baggage of your oflficers, as may hâve been left at Québec.
