Part of a letter from New-York, dated July 27. 1755. "In
all military matters, it seems to belong to the New-England
provinces, to set a proper example--all agree that you are
better able to plan and execute than any other of the
British Colonies--We put no confidence in any other troops
but yours, and it is generally lamented, that the British
veterans were not put into garrison, and New-England
regulars sent to the Ohio. . . --they have five chaplains,
and maintain the best order in the camp--Public prayer,
psalm singing, and martial exercises, engrossed their whole
time at Albany.
