Extract of a letter from Norfolk, dated September 15. I
have the pleasure to inform you, that the inhabitants of
this borough, have raised by subscription a considerable
amount of money, which is to be disposed of for the good of
the present expedition; by allowing every able-bodied man,
who shall enlist, in this county, in his Majesty's service,
under Col. Washington, forty shillings bounty. . . [2 lines]
Mr. Bridges, tho' a stranger in the country, deserves
particular notice, for his generosity, in shewing his
Microcosm this night for the benefit of the expedition;
which will raise a considerable sum, (as a great many
tickets are sold on that account) which sum is to be equally
divided amongst those who shall enlist in seven days.
