Extract of a letter from a military officer, dated at King-
George's Battery at Point Levee, near Quebeck, August 13th,
1759. . .
I am now almost happy in seeing English batteries play
upon Quebeck, as our's has done ever since the 12th of July.
. . [line 9]--I am most sure we shall take the place; . . .
[line 14]---My glass is fill'd, which I design drinking to
the health and happiness of our friends in Boston, if the
French don't knock it out of my hands before I get it to my
mouth, for they have been a little troublesome this morning;
their bell has rung for prayers, which makes me believe it
is Sunday, therefore will send a few messengers to their
church from our 32 pounders. . .
