[In letter to his Excellency John Dickinson, the following
reference:]
Now, for the sake "of the children and the strangers of the
land, " let us take a view of this doughty expedition, which
though described like Cesar's when he passed the Rhine, will
find a better parallel in that of the celebrated Major
Sturgeon--
From Acton to Ealing, and Ealing to Acton*,
Drums beating, sun scorching,
Colours flying, dogs braking, "
Believe me, it was an unfortunate hour that your vanity
goaded you into a uniform coat. . .
