The ftpg. has some items on the war, with mention of General Howe marching out of New York, etc.
But then page 3 has: "...General Howe was still at New York...that the whole army would be in motion in the field by the 14th. Mr. Washington seems preparing to leave Jersey in order to cover Philadelphia which General Howe is informed the Americans mean to defend. He does not know the number of Mr. Washington's army but apprehends it to be considerable...that the regulars have neither a hope, or the Americans a fear, that General Howe will be able to take possession of Philadelphia...for the following obvious reason..." which follow.
The back page has over a full column letter "To Earl Percy" the British general who resigned his position in 1777 due to disagreements with General Howe, his superior.
Four pages, folio size, never-trimmed margins, red tax stamp on page 3, some light staining, nice condition.
