Extract of a letter from a Gentleman at Peck's Kill, to
another in this town, Dec. 4. 1776.
I am now preparing to set off for the Jersies, to which
place General Lee with his division is now bending his
course. . . [10 lines]  Our men inlist fast. --The
inhabitants of Bergen Country, and the lower part of Orange
have gone in, and made their submission to the King, in the
person of his Commissioners, but I trust their loyalty will
be but short-liv'd, and that General Lee will teach them to
dance to a tune very different from 'God save the King,'
