Stamp Act officers appointed for Pennsylvania and New Jersey...

Item # 694275 ·
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, July 20, 1765  The back page has a brief item noting: "From Philadelphia, we learn that J. Hughes and William Cox, Esqrs., are appointed Officers for the Stamp Duties in that province and the Jerseys. The stamp act takes place there the 1st day of November next."
The front page has a bit noting: "Letters from Philadelphia...an account from Havannah that the Punto was finished in a manner much superior to what it was before; the Moro [Morro] castle is almost done, and two new citadels erecting, one to the East and the other southeast on the opposite side of the harbour for the defence & command of the town; and that the Spaniards were very strict with the English, not allowing them to view their fortifications, and hardly to go ashore."
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 inches, rubbing to a front page fold causes a small hole affecting some words on pages 1 and 2, otherwise nice condition.
