GAZETTE OF THE UNITED STATES, New York, Sept. 19, 1789 Page 2 has a letter to the House of Representatives signed in type by the President: Geo.

The back page has an Act of Congress establishing salaries for officers in the government, signed in type by both George Washington and John Adams.
Four pages, very nice condition.
Considered by many as the most significant newspaper of the 18th century, particularly during this, the formative year of the new federal government, as this paper was the mouthpiece of all matters political. Most pronouncements from Congress & the President were printed first in this newspaper.
