May 31, 1781
THE CONNECTICUT JOURNAL, New Haven, May 31, 1781 The front page has a nice letter: "...from an officer of distinction in the southern army, dated Camp, May's Mill, April 15" which has some nice military-relate content, including: "We are thus far on our route towards Camden...What is to be expected there events must determined. 'Tis said Lord Cornwallis is at Wilmington, Lord Rawdon's force I can't ascertain tho' vastly inferior to our's...about 500 North Carolinian militia & Washington & Lee's horse...Clarke has defeated a body of Tories...that General Greene hath made himself master of the British post at Camden..." with much more (see).
Page 2 has an item taken from the Royal Gazette of Charleston, S.C. (see). There is also a report concerning events near Pensacola, and another report talking of General Greene before Camden, South Carolina. And there is a report datelined Chatham, New Jersey, which begins: "In the night of the 25th a party of Indians, consisting of 25, with two tory pilots, crossed the river Delaware opposite Minisink..." with more (see).
Page 3 has a report of General Washington & General Knox arriving at Wethersfield, Connecticut, and being: "...saluted by the discharge of 13 cannon..." (see).
Complete in 4 pages, various water staining but causing no loss of readability, tiny rubbing hole at the very center of the front leaf, some dirtiness to the back page.
