| Description | Laments the loss of Abercrombie as he was a gallant good officer and a zealous steady friend, denounces the conduct of the rebels and justifies that of Britain towards them, future prospects very gloomy but justice authorises and necessity requires present measures, suggests that if officers were not distinguished by their dress, some of their lives might be spared, is glad to hear the Canadians are in motion, hopes they will be engaged as regulars in the King's service, considers Lord Dunmore can ill be spared from his province just now, would much like a visit from him [Lord Dartmouth] |
