SUPPLEMENT TO THE MASSACHUSETTS GAZETTE & BOSTON NEWS-LETTER, Sept. 28, 1769  The front page has a letter to General Paoli followed by: "Paoli's Speech" . Also a small item noting: "It is said that the gentlemen agents for the American colonies who attended the Board of Trade yesterday, received some agreeable accounts relative to the conciliating measures now adopted regarding North America." The bottom of the ftpg. has: "The number of negro slaves bartered for in one year...amounts as follows..." with the list (see).
The back page has some nice content concerning the troubles between England & the colonies, including: "...The Americans will have leisure to reflect on all the consequences that may result from the laws they complain of..." with more. This is followed by a letter from London which begins: "The Revenue Acts which so sensibly affect the trade of America will certainly be repealed the next session of parliament..." (see). Then another letter beginning: "Since I wrote you last there has not been much said about the colonies, but matters seem to run very high here, which, I think, is greatly in favour of the Americans..." and ending with: "...that the measure of Non-importation the Americans have adopted will be the only means to bring their oppressors to reason."
A small size single sheet "Supplement" issue, with some text printed vertically in the margins to make the most use of the paper, making for a curious layout (see). Very nice condition.
