November 21, 1782

THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 21, 1782  The entire ftpg. is taken up with: "American News" which includes a letter from General Nat. Greene and from Alex. Leslie. The Greene letter mentions: "...very unfortunate we have to lament the loss of so valuable & distinguished an officer as Lt. Colonel Laurens who was killed in the skirmish on the 27th..." which was the Battle of Combahee River.
Nice detail on the battle plus a "List of the Killed & Wounded on the 227th of August, 1782" which mentions the name of Lt. Col. Laurens. Page 2 has a letter from Big. General Marion to Governor Mathews.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, 9 by 12 inches, very nice condition.
