Extract of a letter from Harlem, (New York) Sept. 29.
A few days ago one Dr. Hull, belonging to Wallingford in
Connecticut, was drummed out of his regiment for selling
soldiers certificates that they were unfit for duty; he
charged 8d for each man, and any person in the regiments
might have had a certificate for that sum. I think he
deserves to be advertised as a scoundrel, as much as
Wentworth. The enemy and we are looking at each other like
two sharp cats in a garret; neither seems disposed to
attack. We have no news, only it is said that a party of
our guard last night re took from the enemy a chest
belonging to one of our regiments, some beds, &c. &c.
