The front page begins with an interesting: "Address of the Trustees of a School at Germantown, to the President" in which they: "...tender the school buildings for the accommodation of Congress, should they convene at this place...". This is followed by his kind response to them, signed in type: Go. Washington.
Page 2 has a report from "Pittsburg" noting: "...express arrived at...Fort Washington...to General Wayne from Col. Hamtramck, commanding at Post Vincennes, informing him that that garrison was attacked by the Indians...".
Four pages, very nice condition.
