Also on page 2 is more war-related content, including: "That the design of the enemy was to endeavor to come to Philadelphia...is a matter too clear to be doubted of...His [Howe's] march from Brunswick to Somerset was intended to procure this knowledge & he soon found that he should not only have General Washington upon his back but the militia of both states about his ears if he stirred any farther...he retreated to Amboy...If Howe means to bring on a general action why don't he march for the Delaware at once...Howe is a sleepy skulking General. When our force is collected he runs away..." with more.
