Rev. Dr Byles, at Halifax, Nova-Scotia. Reverend Sir,
I have not wrote to you some time past, nor received a line
from you since my arrival here; the reason why I have not
wrote to you is too obvious to explain.
. . . [Several paragraphs on philosophy, the war, and
religion]
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---
. . . [signed] No Friend of Dr. Foster
Cold Bath, No 7.
