which

I got a letter and a Bay State, of March

20th. I am glad you have got rid of Mrs

Wim I always knew she was rather easy

but did not think she was so well known.

Dont freet about the three years or

during the war, in one year from the

eleventh day of May the time of the Mass

2d will be out and Goverment can

hold them thirty days longer if it

pleases but not another damed minuet.

No doubt there is many at home, that

would like to keepe us out here through

tenn wars, but they cant come it, and

what's better the poor miserable deviles

are got to come themselves, And the pasage

of the conscription bill has done more

to please and revise the spirits of this

army than, any other one thing,

But I must dry up Leiut Mehan could not

stop in Lynn when he left, so you wont

see him. But good night and give my

love to all, Kiss the Children for me Yours Truly
