[Extracts from a letter from West-Point to B---n, June 1,
1782]
[Several paragraphs describe the celebration for the birth
of the Dauphin] . . .
At half past five dinner was on table, to which more than
five hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down. The
entertainment was nobly hospitable, and the fine music which
breathed all the while from the orchestra, added a new
relish to the repast.
. . . I enclose you a list of the toasts, and a copy of the
song which was sung after dinner, by the music of the band,
and am my dear friend, &c.
