Page 3 of Jan. 29 has an item from Boston on the appointment of John Davis to deliver a eulogy: "...on the character of the late General WASHINGTON before the Society...", and the back page has a half column poem: "On the Death of the Immortal Wahington".
Each issue has 4 pages, the Jan. 29 issue has an ink stain affecting some words in the Minot eulogy, otherwise nice. The Feb. 5 issue has rubbing at the top in the masthead, otherwise nice.
