PENNSYLVANIA PACKET & DAILY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, Nov. 2, 1785  Page 3 contains: "A Message from the President & the Supreme Executive Council to the General Assembly" signed in type: B. Franklin, President, concerning the boundary line between Penna. and Virginia. Rare to find documents signed by Franklin from when he was "president" of Pennsylvania.
The back page has a nice illustrated ad for a "Hat Manufacturer" which shows the classic tricorne (three corner) hat of the colonial period (see hyperlink).
