From the Pennsylvania Gazette to the printers. Gentlemen,
[many lines, then about English officers..]
O! they were the dearest creatures! the sweetest fellows in
the world! their dress was so degagee, their deportment so
easy, there was a grace in every thing they did, the most
trifling action had a charm, they danced, courted, flattered
and sung to a degree of enchantment; nay, they ever swore
with such politeness, it was heaven to hear them!

instead, then signed] Betsy Thoughtless. Town-Hall, April
7, 1777.
