THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Sept. 24, 1774  Page 2 has a letter from Williamsburg, Virginia, noting: "This day the commissioners on behalf of this colony to attend the General Congress at Philadelphia the 5th of next month, were appointed by ballot & are as follows..." with the list, which includes Richard Henry Lee, George Washington, Patrick Henry among others (see). This is a rather rare mention of George Washington after his involvement in the French & Indian War and his being appointed Commander-In-Chief of the continental forces in 1775.
The back page has a very historic report headed: "Extract of a Letter from Williamsburgh, Virginia, Aug. 6" which begins: "This day the provincial deputies of Virginia gave several instructions to the deputies appointed to meet in the general congress to be held at Philadelphia on the part of the colony of Virginia, among which the following are the most material:..." and what follow are the various grievances the colonies have with England and how they want the issues resolved. This meeting would ultimately convene on Sept. 5 in Carpenter's Hall, to be known as the First Continental Congress. It was at these meetings that 12 of the 13 colonies in attendance set in motion those actions which would lead to the Revolutionary War (see photos for full text).
