From the city and year of the Constitution...
THE PENNSYLVANIA PACKET & DAILY ADVERTISER, Philadelphia, Sept. 4, 1787 A very nice newspaper from the city where the Constitutional Convention was in session at the time this issue was printed.
Pages 2 & 3 have a letter signed by Alexander McGillivray, the principal chief of the Creek Indians. Page 3 has a letter beginning: "One of your correspondents supposes it is 'laughable' matter that the distresses of America should be redressed by a new federal government..." with more.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, a bit of foxing, great condition.
Item from our new catalog - #372, released for November, 2026
