Sir,
It is with concern I write to inform you that your son,
Mr Samuel DAY, was wounded in the thigh (the bone broke) in an
action we had on the 12th instant with the enemy's fleet, and died from
his wounds eleven days after, much regretted by me and every
person on board. He was amiable in all respects, shewed [sic] infinite
courage, and bore his misfortunes in the most becoming manner.
And as it has pleased Divine Providence you should lose a Son, I
hope Mrs DAY, and yourself, will bear the loss with as much
fortitude as he bore the wound, considering he died an honour to
himself and family -- in the glorious cause of his country. -- I am,
with regard, Sir,
Your most obedient humble Servant,
Benjamin CALDWELL.

Sunday last Mr DENMARK, farmer, at the Chapel near Magdalen-gates, was again stripped of all his poultry, -- Never at this season of the year, were so many robberies known in this city, and its environs, as at present, scarce a night passes without a burglary being committed.
Thursday night, the 1st inst., the shop of Mr CLIFT [might be CLIST], twisterer, in the Lower Close, was broke open, and robbed of a considerable quantity of different sorts of yarn. It is supposed to have been done by the same gang that broke into Mr HARWOOD's house last week.
