Building the Capitol... Slave ads in 1820....

DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, April 14, 1820  Page 2 has: "AN ACT making further appropriations for continuing the work upon the centre building of the Capitol, and other public buildings." This and 3 other acts are each signed in type by the President: James Monroe.
The back page has: "100 Dollars Reward...for...my two negro slaves, Lewis and George..." with descriptions of both. Also: "Fifty Dollars Reward" for a runaway: "...negro man named Nat..." with a description of him.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
