THE LONDON CHRONICLE, Sept. 2, 1783
* General George Washington
* Circular Letter to the States
* Loyalists in New York
Most of the ftpg. is taken up with a very interesting letter: "To George Washington" signed in type by an: "Injured Loyalist". The writer refers to Washington's Circular Letter of June 18, 1783, criticizing various excerpts from it.
Page 5 has a small bit: "A gentleman who came yesterday to town from Paris says that great preparations are making in that city for a general rejoicing on the signing of the Definitive Treaty."
The back page includes: "It is confidently affirmed that Sir Guy Carleton will keep possession of New York for the whole of the ensuing winter...protests that he will not move as long as there is a Loyalist that remains in the province of New York who says he wishes to be removed. The new town in Nova Scotia, which is called Shelburne, advances...with great rapidity & bids fair to be one day as populous, if not more so, than any one in America..." with more.
Eight pages, never bound nor trimmed, 9 by 12 inches, nice condition.
