7 Nov 1776:31,32 (24)
To the Rev. Dr, Bagden, at Halifax, Nova Scotia,
Sir, Where you and family are, whether in Halifax or
Heaven, is uncertain to me. . . [7 lines discussing
hardships of life at sea, &c.] Our case is not much unlike
the case of the Israelites who hung their harps upon the
willows, and wept whenever they thought on Jerusalem---they
were tantalized by their captors with, "come sing us one of
the songs of Zion" they were in low condition, for many
years could not sing---but at last the Lord delivered them
out of their distresses. . . [signed] An enemy to Dr.
Foster. Cold Bath Square, No. 7, July 9, 1776 . . .
(The above two letters are suppos'd to be wrote by that
ranting, high-flying Church Clergyman, Peters, formerly of
Hebron, in Connecticut.)
