On my arrival here the Admiral pressed all our hands; they served all the transports in the same manner. As to the situation of Boston, it is almost surrounded by the Americans, and their works appear to be very strong for seven miles round. The troops in Boston are well supplied with salt provisions, flour, pease, &c. but the inhabitants fare badly. The soldiers seem to be in good spirits, but the heads of the army and navy are but upon indifferent terms; when that is the case, especially at a critical juncture, God only knows what will be the end of it.
