(Revolutionary War Officer's Letter) Excellent content Continental Army officer's letter, 4pp. 8vo., Roxbury, Mar. 7, 1779 Col. Daniel Lyman writes his friend and patriot Peter Colt. In part: ...believed here that the army had marched as far as Milford on the sea coast... Connecticut it seems is not yet so torpidly inactive. The enemy are playing a very advantageous game sin-re the reduction of the little state of Georgia... they are securing their conquests and taking all possible advantage of their plunder... wanted for their army... the army at Newport seems to be progressing very little... General Hancock received a letter from a member of Congress... 12 paper dollars are now given for a silver one... Congress are playing a politic game... advantage of a loan from Spain. More good content. Seal tear causes a marginal chip and quarter-size hole, not affecting text. A few archival tape repairs to last page.
