Note 83 — Chapter XX
Reading edition
Captain Glasier seems to have been on excellent terms with Gov’r Wilmot. On 1st March, 1755, he wrote to Capt. Fenton of Boston, “I have received great civility from all sorts of people here in Halifax. I have made your compliments to the Gov’r and he has desired his to you; poor D——l has had the Gout all winter, which seems to be the General Distemper in this place amongst people of Rank.”
