THE LONDON CHRONICLE, England, Nov. 17, 1761  

* French and Indian War

Page 2 has a brief item headed: "America" with a New York dateline, noting: "There is an expedition fleet getting ready...destined for the West Indies. We have near 5000 of General Amherst's troops encamped in an island about ten miles from hence, and about 40 sail of transports in the river that are to be joined with some ships of war...which Lord Howe is expected here with. They talk of nothing less than the reduction of Martinico, and all the French settlements in the Mississippi with the armament."
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 10 3/4 inches, very nice condition.
