Page 2 has an item noting:

* ...first business of Parliament after granting the necessary supplies for the reduction of the rebellious Americans, will be to throw into one bill...a plan already framed for the future dependence & government of the Colonies...The colonies to have Representatives in Parliament, to become subject to all our custom & excise laws...

with more (see).

Another page notes: "...Col. Willard commanded the expedition & the Provincials sent out Col. Worcester with 200 men...to intercept them but without success...General Clinton, on reconnoitering the position of the rebels, observed that they might be attacked in the rear. He proposed it to General Gage...the attack was made; the rebels totally defeated & pursued 15 miles..." & a bit more (see).

The back page has a letter from South Carolina which mentions in part: "...emissaries have been exceedingly diligent...within the line of North Carolina. No stone has been left unturned by Administration...to disunite its poor distressed Americans. Insurrections of our negroes..." with more (see).

Further on is: "After the first engagement at Concord, when an exchange of prisoners was agreed upon between the King's forces & the Provincials..." (see).

Complete in 8 pages, 8 1/2 by 11 inches, bit of browning to the front pagee only, generally very nice.
