Plymouth, December 31, 1773. . . [at end of twelfth query
and answer in a letter about political affairs, a quote:]
  Then my dear countrymen
  Of comfort no man speak;
  Let's talk of graves and worms and epitaphs!
  Makes dust our paper, and with rainy eyes
  Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.
[signed] Shakespear.
