Extract of a letter from a military officer, dated at King-
George's Battery on Point Levee, near Quebec, August 13.
Dear Sir, I am now almost happy in seeing English
batteries play upon Quebec, . . . [14 lines] My glass is
filled, which I design drinking to the healths and happiness
of our friends in Boston, if the French don't knock it out
of my hands before I get it to my mouth, for they have been
a little troublesome this morning; their bell has rung for
prayers, which makes me believe it is Sunday, therefore will
send a few messengers to their church from our 32 pounders,
knowing the French politeness, that they always chuse to
give way to Strangers, . . .
