Howe was at present stronger than it was last year & would be soon further augmented...because the rebel army was considerably diminished; for by the latest advices from America he had been informed that deserters in great numbers with their arms were then coming in to our army every day...because he found that the Mass. people did not now act with General Washington...because the colonists every where...wished of all things to be brought again under the government & protection of their mother country..." and so much more, all seen in the photos.
