THE HERALD; A GAZETTE FOR THE COUNTRY, New York, April 6, 1796
* President George Washington
* Pinckney's Treaty of San Lorenzo
Page 2 has a letter to the House concerning ratification of the Treaty of San Lorenzo, signed: Geo. Washington. Then "An Act" of Congress providing relief to soldiers injured or disabled in the military, also signed: Go. Washington.
Included as well is the slightly smaller, single sheet "Extra" entirely taken up with discussion in the "Federal Legislature, House of Representatives" concerning the controversial Jay Treaty.
Six pages with the "Extra", very nice condition.
AI notes: Pinckney's Treaty of San Lorenzo, signed in 1795 between the U.S. and Spain, settled the boundary at the 31st parallel, granted Americans free navigation of the Mississippi River, and gave them the right to store goods at New Orleans. It eased tensions, boosted trade, and strengthened U.S. control in the Southwest.
