THE LONDON EVENING POST, England, Nov. 2, 1779  The back page has a report from Philadelphia which begins with: "On Sunday last the 4th of July, being the anniversary of the day which gave freedom to the vast republic of America..." with a report a a religious ceremony to honor the historic anniversary.
This is followed by a letter from an officer at Bedford Camp, Long Island, which provides an account of actions in that vicinity. Bits include: "...Almost every ship in the fleet was reduced to the greatest necessity for want of water...We are now encamped at Bedford on Long Island. It is a pleasant and most fertile country...Lord Cornwallis inspected our regiment this morning...we are the finest body of men at present in this country...Our affairs in this country are growing more desperate daily...17th regiment...were lately taken at Stony Point, a fort on the North river which was always deemed impregnable..." and more.
