Extract of a letter from an officer on the expedition
against Louisburg, dated June 24, 1758. . .
Last week Brigadier Wolfe received a compliment, with a
pyramid of sweetmeats, from the Governor's lady, by a flag
of truce sent to the Eastern shore, by whom he return'd his,
with a pine apple, which he happened to have.
P.S. This moment General Amherst received a compliment,
with some fresh butter, from the Governor's lady, made by
herself, which she sent by a drummer that was sent into the
city this day with a flag of truce, but have not heard what
return he has made, or intended.-- This is strange
complaisance between inveterate enemies!
