Loyalist merchants wish they left Charleston with the army...



Item # 649657

April 29, 1783

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, April 29, 1783  Page 2 has a report: "The disappointment of the British merchants who were left at Charlestown [Charleston] on the place being evacuated, makes them repent they did not quit the town with the army. They have no complaint to make as to their treatment, the Americans having so far kept up to the treaty between Generals Leslie and Greene; but the whole country is so wretchedly poor that they cannot pay for the articles they want...".
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.

Item from Catalog 354 (released for May, 2025)
