Page 3 has the document on the controversial Jay Treaty headed: "Ratification of the United States" reading in part: "Now, therefore, I George Washington....declare...a treaty...between the United States...and his Britannic Majesty...by the consent of the President...with the advice and consent of the Senate...do hereby declare that the said treaty & the said additional article...and are a treaty between the United States of America & his Britannic majesty..." concluding with his signature in type: George Washington. Then another document headed: "Full Power of the United States, George Washington..." signed by him in type: Geo. Washington.
Also on page 3 is: "His Majesty's Ratification" noting the King of England has accepted the treaty as well.
Page 3 also has: "A Proclamation" signed in type by John Jay, but it relates to the sale of New York land to Connecticut.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, a few small wear holes at folds affect very little, good condition.
