This, of
course, is not conclusive; James's actual words are, "the loss you had
... at your entrance into action," which need not imply instant death.
On the whole, however, the balance of evidence seems to me to prove that
Dundee died where he fell, and that the letter is not genuine, though
certainly no forgery of Macpherson's. Those who are still curious on a
point which is, after all, of no very great importance, will find it
amply discussed in a note to the edition of Dundee's letters published
for the Bannatyne Club, and in an appendix to Napier's third volume. A
stone still marks the spot where Dundee is said to have fallen, and was
seen by Captain Burt less than fifty years after the battle.
