THE SALEM GAZETTE, Mass., Jan. 24, 1782

* Closing events in the Revolutionary War

Page two has a terrific, tongue-in-cheek "advertisement" headed: "WANTED For the Next Campaign in North America, A Commander in Chief for the British armies..." with much more. The photos show other reports within relating to the closing moments of the Revolutionary War.
The back page is mostly taken up with an oratorio composed to celebrate George Washington and General Greene, with both in attendance.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, a dark stain near the top of pages 1 & 2 (and causes a very small hole) does not affect any mentioned reports, otherwise very nice.
