To the printer of the London Evening Post. Sir, Tuesday
being the 12th, at Why Mondham, amongst a number of droll
diversions which that town affected, I was highly
entertained by a mock recruiting party, which consisted of a
serjeant armed with a large rusty spit, a drum and fife and
four recruits, with each a label on his breast, viz
unconstitutional submission, military government, Indian
allies, brother's blood. The serjeant who was a jolly
spirited fellow, delivered, or rather, bellowed forth in the
principal streets the following speech. Which you are
requested to publish by many of your readers, as well as
your very humble servant [signed] Viator. . . [35 more lines
of serjeant's speech]
