With the analogy of war he describes to the General how this will be rectified, if his request for home leave be granted.In order to open manly attack- When we meet face to face we shall soon come to battle - And then I know how to gain full satisfaction As the body's drive back in the heart of the action!I've a breach and a breast-work, then next to subdueWith a close cover'd way, and a sap to make tooAll round the deep ditch, there's chevauz de frizeAt Flat Bush * there's not such a cluster of trees- I've tools to entrench with, and make my approaches-I'll not ask grenadiers or light infantry there For the motions can't flank it, as brave as they'reNor army dragoons on my plan enlarge*A Pass on long Island, attacked the 27th of August Sir William Howe, succeeded as 5th Viscount in the Irish peerage, appointed commander-in-chief, North America 1775 and recalled 1778, married Frances, 4th daughter of William Connolly of Castletown and Lady Anne Wentworth
