Pg. 2 includes more letters on the war, including two datelined from Sackett's Harbor and one from Fort George, two of the reports signed by James Wilkinson and two by John Armstrong. The war reporting carries over to pg. 3 with more letters from Wilkinson and Armstrong, plus a report headed: "Disaster Of Pettipaug".
The bkpg. has: "General Orders as well as "Summary" which contains several war-related reports.
A great wealth of news in this issue.
