LETTER XL

Being a curious Defcription of the Hunting cf di<? 

 vers Animals. 



SIR, 



YO U complain that the laft year you received 

 but one of my Letters , dated July 8, and 

 with the fame breath affure me, that you writ two to 

 me, neither of which is come to hand- I received 

 a Letter from you this Day, which is fo much the 

 more acceptable, that I thought you had been dead, 

 and that I find you continue to give proof of your 

 remembrance of me. I find by your Letter, that 

 you have an agreeable relifii for the curious Elk-^ 

 Hunting in this Country, and that a further ac^ 

 countof our other hunting Adventures, would meet 

 with a welcome Reception. This Curiofity, indeed, 

 is worthy of fo great a Hunts-Man as your felf j 

 but at prefent I muft beg your excufe as to the Bea- 

 ver-hunting, for I know nothing of it yet but by 

 hear- fay.

 llow upon feveral Rivers, MarJJies, and Pools, that 

 difembogue in the Champlain Lake, being accom- 

 pany'd with thirty or forty of the Savages that are 

 ?$ry expert in Shooting and Hunting, and p$ne#ly
