November 20, 1780
THE PENNSYLVANIA PACKET, Philadelphia, November 20, 1781  Close to half of the front page is taken up with a poem which is focused on the Revolutionary War (see). The last few stanzas are compromised by the loss of the lower corner, causing text loss (see).
Page 2 contains a letter signed in type by the famed Tory newspaper publisher J. Rivington. Page 3 has some great reporting in on the Revolutionary War, including one item which includes: "...The prospect of America is truly glorious. She rises triumphant in one of the most honourable & important contests that ever any people were engaged in..." with more (see).
Another item includes: "...that the notorious traitor Arnold was lately taken prisoner on Long Island by a part of our men...". Other items are datelined Fishkill, Chatham, Trenton, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and an article headed: "Anecdote of Lord Cornwallis".
The back page is filled with ads. Complete in 4 pages, never-trimmed margins, the loss to the lower corner of the front leaf as noted above, great condition.
