Book Details
First Sentence
"HAVING finished my duties in connection with Sir Peter's private estate and his voluminous correspondence-and the door of my chamber being doubly locked and bolted-I made free to attend to certain secret correspondence of my own, which for four years now had continued, without discovery, between the Military Intelligence Department of the Continental army and myself through the medium of one John Ennis, the tobacconist at the Sign of the Silver Box in Hanover Square."
