Abstract | An issue of The New England Chronicle, or, the Essex Gazette for the week covering June 22 to June 29, 1775, containing an article detailing news from London, delivered by the Lord Hyde packet-boat, in which Jeffery Amherst is publicly defended. A portion of the article relates the tale of an apparent exchange in a coffee house the previous year between Amherst and Colonel Washington. The writer notes that, while it is "the fashion" among the British royals to speak ill of Americans, Amherst should be respected for his service and conduct when he "covered and preserved the remains of the English army, after one of their defeats last war in North-America." |
