Extract of a letter to Captain Gardner, Aid de Camp to
General Burgoyne, at Boston, dated at Cork, September 10,
1775. . . [27 lines of professional chat] Your present
situation must be very disagreeable, to be cooped up by such
a set of dirty raggamuffins as I know they are: however,
this may comfort you, the fiddle is tuning for them, and
early next spring, they will have such a dance, as I hope
will bring them to themselves. . . [2 lines, signed] V.
Gardner. . .
