Boston, Nov. 7. To the Rev. Mr Badger, at Halifax, Nova-
Scotia.
Where you and family are, whether in Halifax or Heaven, is
uncertain to me. . . [10 lines] Our case is not much unlike
that of the Israelites who hung their harps and wept
whenever they thought on Jerusalem. - They were tantalized
by their captors with, "Come sing us one of the songs of
Zion." They were in a low condition, for many years could
not sing, but at last the Lord delivered them out of all
their distresses. . . [1 column on living conditions,
signed] An Enemy of Dr. Foster. [letter allegedly written
by a former clergyman named Peters, from Hebron,
Connecticut]
