Lord Howe had informally discussed colonial grievances with Benjamin Franklin in 1774 and 1775 without resolution.
Before the war's escalation, Lord Howe had previously discussed colonial grievances informally with Benjamin Franklin in 1774 and 1775, without resolution. This earlier relationship formed part of the diplomatic context when Howe later sought communications with the Continental Army after the British expedition arrived in July 1776.
