The life and letters of James Wolfe . well situated at present, and in a plentifulcountry. Had we stayed a few days longer at Aschaffenburgwe had been all starved, for the French would have cut off ourcommunication with Frankfort. Poor Captain Merrydan iskilled. Pray mine and my brothers duty to my mother. Wehope you are both perfectly am, dear Sir, Your dutiful and affectionate Son, J. WOLFK. Such was the famous battle of Dettingen. A hollow triumphhad been obtained, when so little lacked to make it an effectivevictory. The French had been repulsed across the river with 4000killed and wounded, the losses of the Allies being, perhaps, halfthat number. Duroures had twenty-nine officers and soldierskilled and sixty-eight wounded, more than any other regiment. The French, to the surprise of every one, wrote one participant,were suffered to escape unmolested. The King halted and the sceneof action and military ardour was suddenly turned into a Court circle—His Majesty was congratulated by every military courtesan on. ^-1 o -r. 5
