October 28, 1775
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, October 28, 1775  Page 2 has a letter from Cambridge beginning: "The enemy are endeavouring to annoy our new post with shot & bombs...we sustained a small loss. We seldom return the fire...Unless very large reinforcements arrive there will not be another engagement this year as we have vastly the superiority in point of numbers." (see)
The back page has a report of proceedings from Parliament  which includes in part: "...I speak, sir, as a friend to England & America, but still more to universal liberty & the rights of all mankind. I trust no part of the subjects of this vast empire will ever submit to be slaves. I am sure the Americans are too high spirited to brook the idea. Your whole power...cannot effect so wicked a purpose...More than half the empire is already lost..." and more (see for portions).
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, great condition.
