Relocating Loyalists... Wishing for the life from before independence...

Item # 709619
January 10, 1784
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Jan. 10, 1784  Page 2 has a report from New York noting in part: "...a considerable number of soldiers, whose regiments had been disbanded by authority, have settled in the territories of the United States rather than go to Nova Scotia where they would have been sent at government expense. Several of these soldiers too had received arrears of pay...". Further on: "...people begin to be a little settled in their minds & no further search or inquiry is now made about the Loyalists...the people only want a regular form of government...". 
Page 6 has a letter from Boston concerning troubles with paper money: "...Congress is trying their utmost to bring them to par, & propose to erect a bank at Philadelphia...Our troubles seem to increase with our independency. I most heartily wish I had my old connections in England again, upon the same footing I was in ten years ago."
Eight pages, 8 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
