February 24, 1791
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Feb. 24, 1791  An interesting page 2 report notes in part: "...dispatches from Botany Bay we learn that Richard Pugh and Elizabeth Morgan, two convicts sent...with the first fleet & who were married before they embarked, have behaved in so exemplary a manner that they are esteemed among the most useful & industrious of the convicts..." with a bit more. Also mention that: "...the native inhabitants of the country have caught the small pox from the English & died in great numbers..." with more (see).
Eight pages, partial tax stamp on page 2, a red ink stain in the blank margin of the front page, generally nice condition.
