London, Feb. 11. Extract of a Letter from Boston, Dec. 22.
. . . [20 lines] This is one of the most plentiful
countries in the world; were the winters more moderate, and
the inhabitants divested of their bigotry and the strong
propensity they have to chicanery and law, a man of a small
fortune might live very agreeable here; but the men are all
hypocrites, & the women w----s; there is not an officer in
the sea or land service nor a common man, down to a drummer,
that cannot have his bedfellow for the winter; so that the
Yankey War, contrary to all others, will produce more births
than burials. [in small print is added] This gentleman
seems to have more knowledge than manners.
