Extract of a letter from Boston, December 22.  This is one
of the most plentiful countries in the world; were the
winters more moderate, and the inhabitants divested of their
bigotry and the strong propensity they have to chicane and
law; a man of small fortune might live very agreeably here;
but the men are all hypocrites, and the women wh--s; there
is not an officer in the sea or land service, nor a common
man, down to a drummer, that cannot have his bedfellow for
the winter; so that the Yankey war, contrary to all others,
will produce more births than burials.
