THE CONNECTICUT JOURNAL, New Haven, September 27, 1781  Page 2 contains a letter which has much concerning the treatment of prisoners of war (see for portions), followed by a letter from North Carolina which praises the work of General Greene in the South, noting in part: "Future ages will celebrate the name of that illustrious hero, who, by his activity & superior military talents has...so often baffled the enemy...The Carolinas will never forget General GREENE..." with more (see).
Another page 2 item notes that: "...Lord Cornwallis has made the posts he occupies at the towns of York and Gloucester, in Virginia, impregnable..." and concludes with: "...there is no human probability that Cornwallis & his troops can escape captivity, or that destruction they have so highly merited." Indeed, Cornwallis would surrender here in less than one month. The balance of pg. 2 is taken up with other Revolutionary War items.
Page 3 contains the: "General Orders" which concerns General Benedict Arnold and his taking of the city of New London, but with much loss. Other details as well (see). Another page 3 item tells of Arnold's exploits as well (see). And yet another item on pg. 3 tells of: "...Lord Cornwallis was then at York & Gloucester--When he left Portsmouth he spiked  up his heavy cannon & killed his unnecessary horses--that he had proposed terms of capitulation to the Marquis la Fayette which were rejected--That his Excellency Gen. Washington passed through Baltimore..." with more (see).
Over a full column on the back page is taken up with the case of several men found guilty of high treason.
A great wealth of fine Revolutionary War content but the condition is compromised by front leaf wear which causes a series of perforation-type holes, with some loss at the spine margin as well causing some text loss (see). The back leaf is in fine condition with no loss. Never bound nor trimmed, four pages, measures 8 by 13 3/4 inches.
