News from London, England, 1788-1984

News from London, England, 17884984 On or about August 28 this year there arrived in the local post office a cardboard cylinder and a letter, both airmail from London. They had been mailed about four days earlier. The cylinder contained a copy of The General Advertizer, a newspaper printed in London in October 1788, and a poster used in New Orleans, La., during the Civil War. The letter explained and commented on the contents of the cylinder. The letter is reproduced here as well as the poster and parts of the four-page newspaper. The title of "General Advertizer" for the paper seemed a good one, since its pages contained notices of book publishing, stagecoach schedules, and various other items along with some interesting items of humorous or serious nature. A sample of this is reprinted containing a letter by George Washington, some small bits of humor, and a longer piece about how a Kentucky family repulsed an Indian attack on their home. Some of the details are still known to some of the natives here. (Editor's Note) @ -felfea §> bm/taïlor London, W. C. 1 England Attj Wr, Altert 1. Stewart APPALACHIAU RDffiM A««. 22, 1984 P. 0.
