Sorting out the details of peace... The Loyalists...
Item # 649674
May 22, 1783
THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, May 22, 1783 Page 2 has a report concerning the situation of land in the South evacuated by the British Loyalists, and also: "...that the American Congress have positively refused to release the great numbers of English prisoners...until all demands are paid for their subsistence and other contingent expences."
Another report mentions: "...information was received that the Preliminary Articles of Peace between the United States and this country had been actually signed at the Hague on Saturday last...", and further on: "...that when the question was put in the Provincial Assembly met at Savannah in Georgia (the first Province that was evacuated by the British troops) whether the confiscated estates should be restored to the proper owners it was carried against them by only one voice...".
Almost all of page 4 is taken up with a letter from New York concerning the news of the treaty of peace and the situation with the Loyalists in America. So much more as well--see photos for portions.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/4 inches, very nice condition.
