October 19, 1775
THE PENNSYLVANIA EVENING POST, Philadelphia, October 19, 1775 Page 2 has an interesting letter which has critical comments on the results of what would appear to be the Battle of Bunker Hill, with mention: "...I have the highest idea of Gen. Howe's military character yet cannot help wondering how he came to suffer the Provincials to escape & even carry off their dead when drove from their strong lines for I conceive it very easy to have destroyed the whole body after dislodging them so suddenly from their intrenchments...never heard of so many men, in proportion to the number, being killed & wounded from redoubts made in 4 hours & from six pieces of cannon...the Americans are either the cleverest fellows in the world at making strong lines in 3 or 4 hours or the most desperate enemy in defending them..." with more (see).
