 On
the 2nd of January, 1776, from the army's headquarters at
Cambridge, Massachusetts, Stephen Moylan sat down to write
to a fellow officer, Joseph Reed. He had a notion that the
colonies needed an emissary sent to Spain to seek help, and
he rather fancied the job himself. In the middle of laying
out his argument, he wrote a single sentence that would
outlive everything else he ever did, saying that he should
like vastly to go ''with full and ample powers from the
United States of America to Spain.''

tarp and then wrapping it around your entire vehicle. Cover
the wheel wells. Wrapping chicken wire around the vehicle is
no longer advised, as marmots have learned to get around the
wire. More |
