Over a full column on page 2 is taken up with an Act of Congress which is headed with a nice engraving of a heraldic eagle and signed in script type by the President: George Washington, and in block type by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson (see).
 
Page 2 also has much reporting from Congress. 

Pg. 3 includes: "Dr. Franklin--Leaves, in his Will, to the President, a gold-headed Cane with the figure of Liberty on it..." (see) and a note that: "M'Gillivray, the famous Creek Chief, & several other headmen of the same nation...set out from their homes on their way to the Great Council Fire of America at New York...". Also a half column debate on the site for the: "..temporary & permanent residence of Congress..." (see). 

A bit of lite foxing, great condition. 4 pages.
