DEAR DADDY,
The heavy-moulded Dutch have taken
Holland ; but too much praise cannot be gi
ven the loyal and gallant troops under my
command, immediately after 1 landed, I gal
lantly took possession ofground enough to en
trench my brave troops chin deep—and I
found myfelf at the head of 50,000 invinci
ble warriors, but preparatory to a general
forward movement, I ordered my advanced
posts to push forward, which confided of the
30,000 Ruffians, under the brave Gen. Har
man, but alas ! such was the bad date of the
weather, the ruined condition offroads, and
the total want of French Brandy, undifcov
erable ditches, sunken pits and mud puddles,
that my gallant aid, Capt. Fitzgerald, who
is fully in my confidence, not with Handing
all these obstacles, gallantly arrived at my
head-quarters, and mod gracioudy informed
me, that my advanced Ruffians, had surren
dered prisoners of war, but the above obsta
cles could not be surmounted, and our pres
ent difficulties cannot be overcome, and have
gallantly weighed the circomdances in which
my troops are placed, " being chin deep"
—I felt it my duty, on a point of so much
importance, to confu!t Sir Gen. Ralph Ab
ercrombie, and all my Generals, who are of
my opinion, and entertaining the noblest
feelings for the honor of the gallant Britilh
arms, and the good old cause, I have tho't
it bed to prevent my gallant troops from
geting into the puddles and pitts above men
tioned,immediately to beat a retreat,and
then I hope to take a good Chridmafs din
ner with your Royal Majesty.
Frederic.
