- Summary:
- The city of Boston is very badly prepared for an enemy attack. The most opulent are without bread and the poor are desperate. With so few troops, Gates fears violence in taking over the few barrels of flour left. Gives some ideas on the invasion the Canada. If John Brown is to be executed, Congress should say so soon. He cannot live long if not set at liberty. Wants Congress to do something about the $10,000 in the hands of General Heath. Captain Bank, a German officer, is uselessly detained without service. Such a worthy person deserves better of the United States.
