THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, March 22, 1759 Page 5 has reports headed: "America" containing an: "Extract of a Letter from Philadelphia".
It begins; "General Forbes has left a garrison within the ruined works of Fort DuQuesne, which are repaired as well as circumstances will permit. The difficulty of subsisting a larger number reduces the forcers left there to 200, which is scarce sufficient either to defend the place, or restrain the savages..." with more.
Also: "Canada is reduced to a very calamitous condition..." with much on the situation in Canada. And further on: "...It is observable that this war in America sorts the nation very little cash...In short the war is supported by the consumption of manufactures & products of the mother country..." with more.
Eight pages, 8 by 10 3/4 inches, very nice condition.
