W.H.D. to Sir Henry Clinton, K.B. Hitherto, Sir, I have
addressed you as a British commissioner; I now have the
pleasure of writing a few lines to you as the British
commander in chief. . . [1/2 column, satirical essay on
Clinton's blunders as a commander]
I think I see the court of St. James's devouring the
contents of your dispatch. . . [14 lines] All the ministers
celebrate thy name, O! Sir Harry Clinton! The sword the
spear of Britain! -- the bells ring a peel--bon-fires glare-
- . . . [1/2 column] Philadelphia, July 21, 1779.
