Page 6 contains various reports as taken "From The New York Gazette" including various reports from the Provincial Congress in New York (see photos), including:

* ...that it be recommended to the inhabitants of this colony...immediately to furnish themselves with necessary arms & ammunition to use all diligence to perfect themselves in the military art...

plus more (see).

There is also a nice account of a leetter from Ticonderoga with much detailed reporting, including mention  of "...Col. Arnold, with 30 men, took the boat & proceeded on for St. John's...We overtook Col. Arnold in the boat...informed us they were unapprised of our coming, though they had heard of the taking of Ticonderoga & Crown Point...We took 14 prisoners, 14 stands of arms & some small stores..." with more (see).

And there is even further good war-related content on the back page with reports on General Gage & General Putnam (see).

Complete in 8 pages, 8 1/2 by 11 in., very nice, clean condition.
