The London Charterhouse is a historic complex of buildings in Smithfield London dating back to the 14th century. It occupies land to the north of Charterhouse Square. The Charterhouse began as and takes its name from a Carthusian priory founded in 1371 and dissolved in 1537. Substantial fragments remain from this monastic period but the site was largely rebuilt after 1545 as a large courtyard house. Thus today it "conveys a vivid impression of the type of large rambling 16th century mansion that once existed all round London". The Charterhouse was further altered and extended after 1611 when it became an almshouse and school endowed by Thomas Sutton. The almshouse a home for gentlemen pensioners still occupies the site today under the name Sutton's Hospital in Charterhouse. Wikipedia unknown

Paper is closely trimmed on the top and side margins with minor loss of print. Print is faded in areas with a few spots to the paper.

An article titled "Extract of a Letter from Major-General Prevost commanding his Majesty's forces in the Province of Georgia to the Right Honourable Lord George Germain one of his Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State dated Savannah November 1 1779: received by Captain Shaw Aid de Camp to Major General Prevost. Prevost states ".the very unexpected visit of the Count d' Estaing to this coast with powerful a squadron and considerable body of land troops when known would have excited some uneasiness for our safety; it is with very sincere pleasure I do my self the honour to inform you that we have seen the last of the French fleet this day depart we hope off the coast - got them and their American allies off our hands." A daily account of the events is printed on the first page from September 4 to the 24th. The second page is completely covered with the Battle and has entries from September 25 to October 11. Between October 11 and the 18th Prevost writes about removing the women and children to safety; about the fog; Battle lines; cannon fire; the number of forces lost on the enemy side; a truce to bury the dead and care for the wounded including d' Estaing and General Pulaski who later died from his wounds on the 18th etc. The paper also includes 10 translated letters from Prevost Estaing and one letter signed by General Lincoln and d' Estaing. On page 3 is a list of the causalities of the battle. The American-French Allied forces were badly beaten at the Siege of Savannah and the British continued occupied Savannah until the end of the Revolution. From American Battlefields dot org: In 1778 British policymakers and strategists decided to refocus their efforts on the southern colonies where they believed the crown would enjoy the support of a large Loyalist population. As part of that effort a British army under Lieutenant Colonel Archibald Campbell captured the city of Savannah Georgia on December 29 1778 . In the fall of 1779 the Americans were determined to take the city back. American forces in the region numbering between 5000 and 7000 men were based in Charleston South Carolina under the command of General Benjamin Lincoln. Lincoln recognized that to recapture Savannah he would need assistance from the French military. On September 3 he learned that Charles Hector Comte d'Estaing was en-route to Savannah bringing with him a fleet of warships and 4000 French soldiers. On September 11 Lincoln left Charleston with a force of his own intent on linking up with d'Estaing. Arriving first d'Estaing began offensive operations against the city on September 16. When fully assembled the Allied force numbered over 5000 men. Defending Savannah was a force of more than 3000 men under the command of General Augustine Prevost. On the morning of October 9 the Franco-American Allies launched a major assault. Fog shrouded the battlefield impeding forward progress. Troops became lost in the swamps fronting the Spring Hill Redoubt the Allied objective. d'Estaing had selected the Spring Hill Redoubt under the mistaken impression that it was lightly defended by local Loyalist militia. In reality the Loyalist militia was backed by battle-hardened British Regulars. When the fog lifted the French lines were fully exposed crumbling in the face of a withering and incessant fire from the redoubt's defenders. d'Estaing himself was wounded twice while personally leading the attack. Mortally wounded in the assault was the Polish cavalry mastermind Casimir Pulaski who had done much to shape the mounted forces of the Continental Army. He was shot while trying to lead his horseman through a temporary breach in the British line. During the attack on the Spring Hill Redoubt the Allies lost roughly 1000 men. The British suffered only 150 casualties. An hour after leading his forces forward d'Estaing called off the attack recognizing its futility. A week later the French commander sailed away leaving Lincoln behind and the Franco-American Alliance strained. On October 18 Lincoln lifted the siege. Savannah would remain in British hands until the end of the war. Printed by W. Woodfall unknown
