THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, May 15, 1759  Pages 5 and 6 containing nearly a full page worth of news headed: "America", part of which is taken up with: "The Speech of Francis Fauquier, Esq., Governor of Virginia, to the General Assembly of that Province".
He begins his speech with the good news: "...my congratulations to you on the happy event of the surrender of Fort DuQuesne to his Majesty's forces under the command of Brig-Ge neural Forbes..." with more on this. Also: "...The Indians are desirous to embrace our friendship...have frankly told us, we are not to expect the continuance of art any longer than we can preserve the country and protect them from the revenge of the now exasperated French...To this purpose Major-General Amherst, a commander who has already proved himself a brave, prudent & careful officer, who his Majesty has been pleased to point to command his troops in North America...".
There is much more, too much to note here but which can be seen in the photos, including additional comments regarding Fort Duquesne.
Eight pages, 8 by 10 3/4 inches, very nice condition.
