BENEDICT, JUNE 26
Sunday morning 6 o'clock
"There
has been since day–break they continued firing in St. Leonard's creek. Having been this morning on a high hill
above this place, I have both seen and heard it.
The mass of
several very large British vessels are distinctly seen with a glass over the
land which intervenes, and the smoke of every gun is visible as it rises above
the trees.
We are in
fear for Barney, the British having been greatly reinforced, as appears by the
number of vessels there. On the first news which reaches us of the results, I
will write you."
