Rev. Dr. Byles, at Halifax, Nova-Scotia.
Reverend Sir . . . [3/4 of column. Near end:]
If the Congress hold out bold--America will see Flanders
in the land of Saints--by now I fancy the Saints are singing
their old puritanic hypocritic canting hymn, viz.
"Peace is the blessing that I seek
"How lovely are her charms"
Eke they may remember also
That to the wicked is no peace

Friend of Dr. Foster. Cold Bath, No. 7. July 8th, 1776.
Dr. C. and Mr. T. are well. vide T.B. --if ignorant of me.
