Philadelphia, November 16. Last Friday being the King's
birth day, when his majesty enter'd his 70th year, the same
was observed here with the greatest solemnity. His honour
the governor gave an entertainment on the occasion at noon,
at his seat at Bush-Hill, where all the loyal toasts were
drank . . . In the evening there was a grand ball at the
state-house, at which were present one hundred ladies, and a
much greater number of gentlemen, who form'd the most
brilliant assembly that had ever before been seen in this
province. The whole company were elegantly entertain'd by
his honour there at supper in the long gallery, and every
thing conducted with the greatest decorum, and to general
satisfaction.
