Howe<br>beginning:<br>"I have the satisfaction to inform your Lordship of his Majesty's troops being in possession of New York..."<br>with much more (see photos). This letter takes more than a full page to detail the battle of New York, during which:<br>"The enemy having evacuated New York soon after the army landed, a brigade took possession of the works in the evening..."<br>. A great account of this significant battle.<br>On the same & the following pages are additional items from Howe including a "Declaration" concerning urging citizens to return their allegiance to the King.<br>There is also: "Case of Mr. James Rivington of New York", the infamous Tory newspaper publisher. A Letter signed by:<br>Guy Carleton<br>begins:<br>"The rebel fleet upon Lake Champlain has been entirely defeated...<br>" and yet another letter begins:<br>"His Majesty's forces are now in possession of the city of New York..."<br>. Many other Revolutionary War reports as well, too numerous to note here.<br>As good as this content is, the most significant portion of this issue is the very nice foldout<br>Revolutionary War map<br>titled:<br>"A Map of Connecticut and Rhode Island with Long Island Sound, etc.",<br>which shows much detail. This map measures 8 1/4 by 10 1/2 in. and is in very nice condition with wide borders.<br>The map is the only plate called for.<br>A terrific issue.
