To The Ep1ron OF THE SuN-,sir. At the period
OF the deeds mentioned by ~ d. F." In his Inquiry
concerning Oyster Pasty Battery and the Half
Moon Battery. Ioss and less, the little old city Of
New York below Wall street was almost completely
surrounded by fortlhcatons In various stages OF
dnapldsi,on. They included q line of palisades
which extended along the North River shore. as
It then existed, from the end Of the city wall near
the site OF Trinity Church, almost 10 the fort. where
the new Custom House 10 being built Tho shore
line then ran approximately along the line Of tho
present Greenwich street. There were two lunettes
or half moon batteries In this stretch, one at
the end Of the lane now called Exchange alley. and
one at the end Of the lane called Norris street.
Exchange alley was ancieny known a. the alley
that leads TO Oyster Pasty." and sfterward as
Pasty alley. The battery at the end Of tho alley
was called tho Pssty Mount or Oyster Pasty bat
tory.
As to the origin Of the name w are Left some
what TO conjecture. There Is historical evidence
suggesting that tho pastry OF tho seventeenth CEN
fury was Of that solid and enduring consistency
which auallned II exceently TO serve - land
mark. The petition for the laying out Of Nassau
street requested that street be laid out along the
lane that runs by tho pye woman" Possibly tho
psssag eway under discussion led to some more or
less pretent,ous dispensary OF public hospitality
where the oyster pie was conspicuous item OF
the menu. But however that may be, there was
Oyster Pasty alley and Oyster Pasty battery at the
foot Of II.
The half moon referred to by your correspond

have been the Pasty battery tho battery At what
