Eustis came to the lines, and dilated the wound in the breast ; and as the patient is athletic, and had not sustnined a very copious loss of blood, he recommended repeated and liberal blood letting -- observing that in order to curt; a wound through the lungs, you nmst bleed your patient to diath. He eventually recovered, which is to be ascribed principally to the free use of the lancet, and such abstemious living, as to reduce him to the greatest extremity. A considerable number of wounded prisoners receive my daily attention.

"A gentleman volunteer, by name Rcquaw, received a dangerous wound and was carried into the British lines; I was requested b}' his bmther to visit him, under the sanction of a fiag of truce, in company with Dr. White, wlio resides in this vicinity. This invitation I cheerfully accepted; and Mr. Requaw having obtained a flag from the proper authority and procured horses, we set of in the morning, arrived at Westchester before evening, and dressed the wounded man. W^e passed the night at Mrs. Bartow's, mother-in-law of Dr. W. She has remained at her farm between the lines during the w-ar, and being friendly to our interest, has received nmch abusive treatment from the royalists. We were treated in the most friendly manner, and her daughter, an amiable well educated girl, entertained us in conversation till one o'clock in the morning, relating numerous occurences and incidents of an interesting nature, respecting the roj'al part}'. The next day we visited our patient again, paid the necessary attention and repaired to a tavern, where I was gratified with an interview with the much famed Colonel De Lancey, who commands the Refugee Corps. He conducted with much civility, and having a public dinner prepared at the tavern, he invited us to dine with him and his officers.
