EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM READING, PENNSYLVANIA, DATED APRIL 26, 1775.

We have raised in this Town two Companies of Foot, under proper Officers; and such is the spirit of the people of this free County, that in three weeks time there is not a Township in it that will not have a Company raised and disciplined, ready to assert at the risk of their lives the freedom of America.
