THE EDINBURGH EVENING COURANT, Scotland, Nov. 12, 1777 Pages 2 and 3 have much reporting on the Revolutionary War under the heading: "American Intelligence".
Some bits include a letter from Wilmington: "The enemy have landed about 2000 men & are within four miles of the head of the Elk..." with more on his. Then a "Proclamation" by the governor of Maryland concerning rallying sufficient soldiers to protect the land along the Susquehanna from the invading British.
There is a report of General Washington passing thru Annapolis: "...& immediately proceeded over the river Schuylkill on their way to the eastern shore of Maryland where the enemy's fleet has lately been seen...".
Then there is a: "...most audacious proclamation ...issued by the rebel Gen. Arnold to counteract that of General Burgoyne, which we lay more our readers as a literary curiosity." followed by the proclamation, signed in type: B. Arnold.
Much more fine content here as can be seen in the photos, too much to list here.
