Near bottom of second column:] While I feel the loss of my country, and my friends, I can, by sad experience, adopt that expression in Prov. 25th Chap. 20 verse. As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so it is that singeth songs to a heavy heart. . . [signed] Caesar Sarter. Newbury-Port, August 12th, 1772. |
