all that we do We took the a farewell of them
& walked to chelsea from thence to Charleston we
here visited the Bunker Hill monument &
walked upon the entrenchment that was flung
up by our brave fathers during the night before
that memoreable & Bloody battle that was
fought upon Bunker Hill. But the roar of
cannon & clash of arms had long since ceased
& the green turf was now trod in He best ^her best^
