About This Item
[Philadelphia, 1849. Bifolium, entirely in ink manuscript on the first two pages. Page [3] is blank. Docketed on last page, "Copy. Recommendation of Philadelphia Banks, Merchants and others." About sixty undersigned merchants are listed. Each page 8" x 12-1/2." Contents written neatly in a single hand. At the bottom of page [2] a New York County Notary Public, whose last name is Cooper, takes the oath of Henry Doane and W.H. Van Dalsen, who swear [Van Dalsen affirms] "that we have carefully examined and compared this with the original from which it is copied, and that it is a true and correct copy of the same." Very Good.
