" WILLIAMSBURG, Jan. 17.
"On Sunday, the 25th day of November laft, Wm Nelfon, Efq. and " his new married lady made their appearance in the Stration Major " church, King and Queen county, for the firft time after marriage, when " an excellent Sermon from the 24th chapter of Genefis, verfe 20th, "' And Jacob ferved feven years for Rachel and they feemed unto him " but a few days for the love he had to her,' was delivered by the Rev. " Mr. Dunlap. In handling the difcourfe the preacher in his ufual ani- " mated manner touched upon the tender paffion of love as a neceffary " requifite in courtfhip and marriage, the duty of hufband with refpect to " acquiring and preferving domestic happinefs, concluding with fome very " pertinent animadverfions on the conduct of parties in regard to the dif- " pofition of children in marriage, and how far the duty between both " ought to be reciprocal. The whole difcourfe was handled in a new " and itriking manner."
The Rev. Mr. Dunlap fubfequently was involved in diffenfion with his veftry, and appears to have been extruded by them.

NOTE 13, P. 22. General Lee.
From Sparks's Wafhington's Writings, vol. III, p. 345, in note : " General Lee wrote to Wafhington a letter dated April 5th, compliment- "ing him on the evacuation of Bofton in the following language :
"I moft fincerely congratulate you, I congratulate the public, on the " great and glorious event your poffeffion of Bofton. It will be a moft " bright page in the annals of America, and a moft abominably black one in " thofe of the beldam Britain. Go on, my dear General, crown yourfelf " with glory, and eftablifh the liberties and luftre of your country on a " foundation more permanent than the Capitol Rock. My fituation is "juft as I expected. I am afraid I fhall make a fhabby figure, without "any real demerits of my own. I am like a dog in a dancing fchool. I " know not where to turn myfelf, where to fix myfelf. The circumftances " of the country interfected by navigable rivers, the uncertainty of the " enemy's defigns and motions, who can fly in an inftant to any fpot they " choofe, with their canvafs wings, throw me, and would throw Julius " Cæfar, into this inevitable dilemma. I may poffibly be in the north " when, as Richard fays, I fhould ferve my fovereign in the weft. I can " only act from furmife, and I have a very good chance of furmifing " wrong. I am forry to grate your ears with a truth, but muft at all " events afure you that the Provincial Congrefs of New York are angels " of decifion when compared with your countrymen, the Committee of "Safety affembled at Williamfburg. Page, Lee, Mercer and Payne, are

" indecd exceptions ; but from Pendleton, Bland, the Treafurer & Com- " pany, libera nos Domine."
