To the Rev. Mr. Badges, at Halifax, Nova Scotia. Sir.
Where you and your family are, whether in Halifax or heaven,
is uncertain to me. I have wrote often before you left
Boston, receiving no answer. [41 lines] I have wrote to Dr.
B. and T.B. but no news I can give. We expect news from the
howling wilderness, where distress has taken up her
residence to reward the hymn singing saints for all their
Cormusian virtues and human bloodshed from their first
emigration til now. May distress put on all her majesty and
power, and wait on every psalm canting rebel, in that
fanatic, ungrateful word; and may peace and every beatitude
attend the virtuous loyal part, is the constant prayer of
your friend, and a friend to justice, mercy and peace but
[signed] An Enemy to Dr. Foster. Cold Bath Square, No. 7.
July 9, 1776.
