Mary Durnford Family Recollections of Lieut.

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Soon after, a draft was made from the garrison to add to the army preparing for the invasion of Martinique, under Ge neral Moncton and Mr. Durnford embarked with Lord Albe marle's expedition, as a Lieutenant of Engineers, to be em ployed with him in the siege of the magnificent and important Havannah. Nothing can be added to what he relates, as oc curring to himself in the course of, and at the close of that memorable siege, since no journal or other notes relating to it exist, except the letter which is subjoined. Thls letter bears no date or address, but was evidently written in 1792.
