Anglo-American and royal notices mix with voyage letters
A fragmentary 18th century newspaper page reports James Oglethorpe's Georgia voyage letters, fleet preparations at Toulon, and a wave of court and town items. It notes promotions in the Third Regiment of Foot Guards, royal entertainments, deaths, marriages, and local appointments in Salisbury and Kingston upon Hull, with brief aboard-ship and weather-like travel details and political maneuvers in Europe.
