Page 2 has an interesting letter prefaced with: "As every method should be taken to decry the horrid practice of Dueling, I send you a Letter from an Officer of known Courage in answer to a Challenge he received." in which he defends his refusal to duel even though he knows he will be considered a coward, etc.
Page 2 also has: "A Talk" being a letter from Lt. Col. James Wilkinson to the Indian National on the Wabash River which begins: "The arms of the United States are again exerted against you, and again your towns are in flames..." with more. This was Wilkinson's offer for the Indians to surrender following the Battle of Kenapacomaqua.
Four pages, very nice condition.
