In the church of Westerham, the place of Wolfe's birth, as well as in
Westminster Abbey, is a cenotaph. Is it well known who was the author of
the pleasing lines inscribed at Westerham?
"While George in sorrow bows his laurel'd head."
May I also ask whether the packet of autograph letters in the possession
of your correspondent was ever shown to Southey, and whether an
intention was not entertained by him, at one period, of writing a memoir
of Wolfe? If these letters were unknown to Southey, I have strong
reasons for believing that another collection of General Wolfe's letters
exists. Would not your correspondent's collection or a selection from
it, form a very interesting publication?
