[part of a letter from Weathersfield, April 23.] . . .
Query, Will Col. Grant believe now that New England men,
dare look regulars in the face?--eighteen hundred of their
best men, retreating with loss before one third of their
number, seems almost incredible, and I think must be called
an omen for good. . . [7 more lines] we fix on our
standards, and drums the colony arms, with the motto, qui
transtulit[?] sustinet, round it in letters of gold, which
we construe thus, God who transplanted us hither, will
support us.
