Mail from New York and Boston dispatches reach Lord Dartmouth
A New York Gazette excerpt notes a 25 day voyage to Falmouth by the Halifax packet captained by Boulderson, with dispatches from General Gage in Boston. It reports a sloop action at Sandwich involving Providence supplies and a skirmish where a lieutenant was killed and a naval punted vessel captured, plus prisoners sent inland.

Provincial Congress urged arms amid Halifax and New York dispatches
Long colonial reports detail Cambridge and New York meetings urging civilians to arm and train, while Boston observers describe British orders and Putnam’s tactics. Letters from Salem recount Bolton raids, a draft of Canadian regiments, and provincial cannons at Bolton as Loyalists and merchants weigh security and loyalty.
