From the Maryland Gazette. To Earl Cornwallis, Lieutenant-
General, &c. &c.
A General, who possesses that dignity of soul, which exalts
the conqueror above the insolence of a triumph, and elevates
the vanquished above meanness and despondence, will ever
find the generous among his enemies, ready to applaud his
merit. . . [24 lines]
Considering your Lordship as one of the principal actors
in the military drama, I have taken some pains to acquire a
knowledge of your principles and abilities, and I sincerely
wish the result of my enquiries was less degrading to human
nature. . .
