Sharpas writes first of Lord Cornbury's impending arrival in New York, with his retinue including his wife and children, Mr. Honan his private secretary, and Coll Richard Ingoldsby. He then writes of the war which was ongoing in Europe, in which King Willliam travelled to Holland with an army, the Swedish army (led by the young Swede king) defeated the Saxon army near Riga, and a rout of the French by the Italians (in which 13,000 Frenchmen were killed and "54 pieces of Cannon" were taken).
