[London] Extract of a letter from Boston, dated Dec.22.
"This is one of the most plentiful countries in the world,
were the winters more moderate. . . [3 more lines] a man of
a small fortune might live very agreeable here; but the men
are all hypocrites, and the women w---s; there is not an
officer in the sea or land service, nor a common man, down
to a drummer, that cannot have his bedfellow for the winter;
so that the Yankey War, contrary to all others, will produce
more births than burials."
