THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, August 22, 1775  Page 3 has a letter from New York which includes: "...wait upon our Provincial Congress now sitting in this city with the news that the Indian nations are determined not to act against the Colonies...that even the Canadian Indians are our friends...A regular army of 70,000 men is to be immediately raised; all ranks of people are in arms. Seventeen regular companies are already formed in this city who have no pay & provide themselves with uniforms, arms and ammunition. Should the unhappy contest continue six months longer, it is very probable that we shall have near 200,000 bold resolute men disciplined to as great perfection as any of his Majesty's troops. The Provincial army at present at Boston consists of 20,000 men & increases daily..." with a bit more (see). This is followed by a letter from Philadelphia of July 10, 1775, which notes: "Travel through whatever part of this country you will, you see the inhabitants training, making firelocks, casting mortars, shells & shot...in order to keep the gunpowder mills at work...Nothing...is attended to but preparing to make a vigorous defence. A prodigious number of men are now in arms & well trained, ready to march whenever wanted for the support of American freedom & property..." (see). This is then followed by a report from Georgia on their actions towards the fight against England (see).
Another page tells of some military action in Massachusetts (see) including: "...an engagement had happened between the King's troops & the rebel army, in which the latter had been cut to pieces. That about 700 of the troops under the command of General Clinton had made a faint attack on the rebel entrenchments at Roxbury...pursued by their troops when a large body of regulars under General Burgoyne...& routed them with great slaughter, more than 2500 being reported to be slain in the field...".
