5 Apr 1777:1901 (3/335)
From the St. James's Chronicle. Manchester, Nov. 8, 1776.
I have had the honor to serve my country for five and thirty
years, as private soldier, corporal, and serjeant.
. . . [4 lines on participation in battles]
I am informed there has not been such a scene of joy here,
or such ringing of bells, with illuminations, since the
sixteenth day of December, forty-five, when their darling
Prince arrived from the north.
. . . [Comments on recruiting efforts]
[signed] An Invalid, aged 72, &c.
