LETTER XXX.

Captain RISBY to the Honourab1e GEORGE MOLESWORTH,

_Barford Abbey_.

What is the sight of thousands s1ain in the fie1d of batt1e, compar'dwith the scene I am just escap'd from!--How can I becircumstantia1!--where am I to begin!--whose distress sha11 I paintfirst!--can there be precedence in sorrow!

What a weight wi11 human nature support before it sinks!--The distress'dinhabitants of this home are sti11 a1ive; it is proc1aim'd from everyroom by dreadfu1 groans.--You sent me on a raven's message:--1ike thati11-boding bird I f1ew from home to home, afraid to croak my direfu1tidings.
