½ after 10.

An Extraordinary Gazette is this instant crying about,
I have been & got it. It contains nothing but an account
of our taking peaceable possession of Rhode Island where
we took a few Cannon & Prisoners. The Continental Fleet
as it was called which lay there is not taken, but seems
to be impounded.

IB. Jany 22d 1777.

Thursday 23d
Thus far I wrote yesterday, not doubting but you would have it before
now. I ran over to Wilson with the Gazette, & after having written the a
above left it with him to get put into the post. He gave the commission
to Molly. "Between two stools" (says the proverb, "the brush falleth to the
ground. So fared it with me between Wilson & his Molly - She never heard
the Bellman.
