(PAGE 5.)
AFTER Dr. Green's recovery from the small pox, his professional
duty must have been divided between the regiment and the hospital,
or hospitals, for there were several, one at least a mile nearer than
Fresh Pond.

Arnold had been obliged to retire from the siege of Quebec after
the death of Montgomery and the arrival there of large reinforcements
of British troops. Our army at Montreal, meanwhile, were severely
suffering also from small-pox; and, as Sir Guy Carleton approached,with his reinforcements from Quebec, Arnold found himself unable
to compete with him, and, with the small flotilla he had constructed
during the summer, speedily commenced his retreat by the river-Sorel,
St. Johns and the Lake to Ticonderoga.

(PAGE 9.)
When I and my older brother were striplings, we had to trudge along
with our father to suffer two or more hours' penance, with half frozen
*feet, in the olde barn of a meeting-house never tempered with a stove
or furnace heat. The remnant of the holy day was spent over the
sacred Bible, or often during the hot summer afternoons I was summoned to read to my father a discourse from Bishop Tillotson, Doddridge or some other English divine, and was seldom if ever released
before the last rays of the setting sun.
