THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, Phila., Nov. 10, 1768  Notable title once published by Benjamin Franklin, page 2 has an address from the "Subscribers and Members of His Majestys Council of the Province of Massachusetts to General Gage" which discusses their thoughts about state of the colony, mentioning in part: "In this Time of public Distress...when the Metropolis is possessed by Troops, and surrounded by Ships of War...it affords a general Satisfaction, that your Excellency has visited the Province....Your own Observation will give you the fullest Evidence that the Town and Province are in a peaceful State...thought there have been Disorders in...Boston, some of them did not merit Notice; and that such as did, have been magnified beyond the Truth....". In his reply, General Gage says: "Whatever may have been the...Causes of the Disturbances, and Riots....the Troops...will...Stay....and that the future Behaviour of the People, will...afford me a sufficient Foundation, to represent to his Majesty, the Propriety of withdrawing the most Part of the Troops." signed in type: Thomas Gage.
Page 3 news from Fort Chartres mentions that Captain Gordon Forbes of the 34th regiment: "...collected a vast Quantity of Stone, with which he had built a dry Wall, to support the Bank of the Mississippi, for upwards of 200 yards in Front of the Fort."
