Extract of a letter from an officer of the New York forces,
dated at St. John's, November 3, 1775.  I have the pleasure
to inform you that I had the honour of marching into, and
taking possession of this fortress . . . [description of
siege and capitulation, including]
On our ceasing to fire, the General ordered a parley to be
beat, and sent in an officer to demand a surrender of the
fort. . .
