THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, May 10, 1759 Pages 6 and 7 contain nearly one-third of a page with reports headed: "America" with one report noting in part: "...General Court of the Massachusetts Bay have...made provision for the raising forthwith 5,000 men..." with more on this. Also: "A fresh misunderstanding has broke out between the Creek Indians and the Spaniards on the confines of South Carolina."
There is also a letter from Albany with nice reports on the French & Indian War noting in part: "...from Fort Edward...that Major Rogers was on his return from a grand scout...that he has taken 5 prisoners and six scalps & killed about 30 of the enemy...The prisoners give an account that 70 French Indians were sent out from Ticonderoga to cut off our convoys between Stillwater and Saratoga...".
Also two reports with a Boston dateline.
Eight pages, 8 by 10 3/4 inches, very nice condition.
