A WONDERFUL REVOLUTIONARY WAR LETTER
By Ed & Jean Siskin
In the Oct-Nov 1988 issue of La Posta, Tom Clarke wrote an article about a wonderful Revolutionary War cover he had. Dated February 16, 1777, from New Brunswick, New Jersey, it was from a British officer to his brother, the Earl of Lauderdale in Edinburgh, Scotland and discussed, among other things, the recent Battle of Trenton. Tom kindly let me acquire it and for many years it remained one of my favorite covers. Now that it’s moving on to a new owner, it seems appropriate to provide additional documentation of this gem.
