Scarce title containing a Washington letter...

Item # 719658

January 16, 1797

THE NEW WORLD, Philadelphia, Jan. 16, 1797 A scarce title, and until a recent find, the very first we have offered in our (soon to be) 50 years. It published for exactly one year.
Page 2 features a letter to George Washington from the Penna. Senate, offering congratulations for his public service. It is followed by his grateful response, signed in type: Go. Washington.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
