Octr 3d 1775 (By the Packet of Octr 75)
[Extract]
We have had publick Notice, that no packet after this will regularly Sail for America.2 No body can more deeply and sincerely regret than I do, the unfortunate differences which have thus cut off the intercourse of Countries which ought to be united by the strongest and dearest of all ties.
