Fish-Kill, October 25. Camp, Peeks-Kill, October 18, 1781.
Yesterday the anniversary of the surrender of General
Burgoyne's army was celebrated by the officers of the 3d
Massachusett's brigade, in a manner which would have given
satisfaction to any gentlemen who are sensible of the
important events of the day. . . . [1 paragraph, then] . . .
An elegant concert of music attended the entertainment; and
after dinner the following toasts were drank. . . .
While scenes of transport, every breast inspire,
The muse too triumphs in her kindling fire;
Blest in her bliss, she lifts a bolder wing,
Aids every wish, and tunes the harp to sing;
To their glad concert wakes the accordant strain,
And mingles with the music of the plain.
