Page 3 has a notable report on the Asgill Affair: "...who left New York...we are told that Capt. Lippencot, the principal accomplice in the murther of Capt. Huddy, had received his sentence at New York...that he had been condemned & was that day (the 14th of June) sent to the camp of General Washington."
And relating to this, the back page has a report noting: "The General Carlton armed ship is arrived from New York...was currently reported that Capt. Lippincot had been given up to the Americans, which had procured the release of Capt. Asgill from confinement, though he still remained as a prisoner of war in order two be exchanged. The Loyalists, it is said, were in a ferment on the occasion."
The back page also has a poem: "Prologue to the Tragedy of Zara. By General Burgoyne, Spoken by Lord Rawdon, at Boston".
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, good condition.
