LONDON CHRONICLE, quarto-size, 8 pages, dated March 21, 1778.
 
* Revolutionary War original from the enemy
* George Washington Troops
* Horatio Gates - William Howe 

The second page has an Order issued by Gen. Howe establishing a curfew in Philadelphia ...between the beating of the Tatoo at half past eight oclock in the evening, and the Reveille in the morning without lanthorns... 

Another item says the Congress will furnish General Washington with 100,000 troops by March 1st from drafts from the different provinces. Also word that the Maryland General Assembly voted 2000 additional troops to the Continental Army. Another page has an extract of a stern letter from Gen. Gates to Maj.-Gen. Vaughan concerning the burning of the village of Kinston, stating in part: Is thus your Kings Generals think to make to make converts to the royal cause? It is no less surprising than true, that the measures they adopt to serve their master have quite the contrary effect. Their cruelty establishes the glorious act of independency, upon the broad basis of the general resentment of the people... signed in type: Horatio Gates. Small stain on the front page, areas of lite foxing.
