DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., Oct. 30, 1865  The front page has a somewhat brief article: "The Georgia Convention - Abolishment Of Negro Slavery" which concerns the historic 13th Amendment. When Georgia ratifies it in December it would become the law of the land.
Page 2 has two: "Proclamation" documents signed by: Andrew Johnson. One calls for a day of Thanksgiving: "...to the Creator of the Universe, for these deliverances and blessings...".
Four pages, large folio size, very nice condition. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
