Mr. Viger reproduces on page 3 of this pamphlet a letter to Dr Lee, of London, to whom the manuscript belonged, asking permission to copy it.

The Journal covers the period from the 1st. May to the 10th. Sept. and contains very interesting details of the early days of the Siege. Pages 38 to 41 inclusive contain a translation of the memorial sent by Lieut. Jean Denis de Vitré to the Right Honble. Wm. Pitt regarding the Services of his father, a pilot of the English Fleet in the operations against Quebec. A note signed by J. Lee, evidently the Doctor Lee above referred to says that the original petition is in the hands of John Rose Esqr. No. 2 New Inn, 16 July 1831.

In 1876, the manuscripts which belonged to the late John Lee of Doctor's Commons, removed from Hartwell House, were catalogued and offered for sale. They were however withdrawn for eighteen years, and finally sold by Sotherby in 1894. An autograph ms. by Sir A. Schomberg, and a ms. by D. B. Viger, 1828, were included in the catalogue. The British museum purchased three manuscripts from the collection, but the Journal of the Siege was not one of them, and no trace has been found of the purchaser.
