They ssv'ussiil therefore ac quaint me once in

other way more convenient to thcm, of
the success they meet with ] trust it is
unnecesszry to make use of many words
to prove the eniire neceflity of their being
uncommonly act'we am] diligent in procur
ing men at this crhicsill peliod of Anteri
um affctirs. That the campaign will open
very early in the spring, seems a matter
httle to be doubted; and how cssent'nlly
material it is that we have a respectable
army to oppose the enemy, when they do
again take the field, you, gentlemen,
whn hewe- lately left the scene of action,
must be competentjuclges, for that all the
advantages the enemy have been ever able
to gain over as were owing to the exceed
ing inseriority of numbers on our lisile is
a fact much to be lamented, however
weak or wicked menmay dilbelieve, or in
sizxunte to the contrary.
