Page 6 includes: "In the Treaty of Peace now carrying on between Great Britain & other belligerent powers, the former has taken care to stipulate for a provision for the unfortunate Loyalists and refugees..." and more concerning setting aside a tract of land in Canada for them to relocate to.
Eight pages, 8 1/4 by 11 1/2 inches, very nice condition.
